The objective of this project is to use afterimages to investigate color perception in the human eye. Afterimages are the sights you see whenever you stare at a light for too long. Everybody has probably experienced an afterimage. The hypothesis of this experiment is if you look at a bright image for 5 seconds, then the afterimage will be 9 seconds because the afterimage always lasts longer than the amount of time you stare at the image. The control of this experiment is staring at the red image for 5 seconds. The independent variable is how long you stare at the image. The dependent variable is how long the afterimage appears.The constants of this project will be the same light and image and the same eye.
(KidsHealth.org, 2013) How does an eye work? Well the first thing that light passes through is the cornea. The cornea is a dome of clear tissue. The cornea’s job is to focus on the light as it passes through. The color part of the eye is the iris. The Iris is behind the cornea, and in

“An afterimage is a type of optical illusion in which an image continues to appear briefly even after exposure to the actual image has ended.” (abouthealth.com, 2016). There are different types of afterimages as well. The two main types of afterimages is a positive afterimage, and a negative afterimage. The difference between the two is obvious. When the colors of the original stimulus are retained, the afterimage is a positive afterimage. When the colors in the afterimage appear to be reversed, it is a negative afterimage. For someone to experience an example of a positive afterimage right now, they would just stare at a very brightly lit scene or screen, and then close their eyes. When the person closes their eyes you will see the same image you saw before with the original colors. For someone to experience an example of a negative afterimage, they would stare at a red image, and close their eyes. Once they close their eyes they will see a green

Luminol is a white, sometimes pale yellow, crystalline solid that can create a chemiluminescence when mixed with certain oxidizing agents. In order to create luminol, there needs to be a diamindation of 3-Nitrophthalic Acid by Hydrazine, which produces 3-Nitrophthalihydrazine and is then reduced with Sodium Dithionite. The product on its own is not soluble in water but is soluble in most organic solvents. Other than emitting a blue light, luminol is also used in forensic studies. A forensic investigator can use luminol to detect traces of blood by spraying it on an area since it traces an activation oxidant in order to make it emit light. In order to create effective results, investigators must spray even amounts of the solution. The intensity

In “The Case of the Color Blind Painter” a man named Mr. I suffered a strange and total loss of color in his vision due to a car accident. He suffered a concussion. He was an abstract expressionist artist and remembered colors but couldn’t see it. Everything he sees is black and gray. But to Mr. I as a painter he sees
Within this lab project our group have become very comfortable with working with the cameras, specifically learning how to setup, and shoot at the proper camera focuses. This project specifically gave us an understanding of perfect exposure, over exposed and under exposed images. Adjusting the exposure time/shutter speed gives us a larger range of depth (range) rather then adjusting the f-number (f-Stop). The f-number adjusts the length of the lens compared to the diameter of the entrance of the lens. Giving us a wider range to adjust makes the camera shots easier as its faster to find perfect exposure for your image. Taking a look at our group of photos, we can see that we have an underexposed, an overexposed and one in perfect exposure. The shutter on the camera is adjusted to the length of time it stays open for within the cameras exposure settings. Doing this allows the sensor within the camera to be exposed to more or less light.
Most of the eye is filled with a clear gel called the vitreous. Light projects through the pupil and the lens to the back of the eye. The inside lining of the eye is covered by special light-sensing cells that are collectively called the retina. The retina converts light into electrical impulses. Behind the eye, the optic nerve carries these impulses to the brain. The macula is a small extra-sensitive area within the retina that gives central vision. It is located in the center of the retina and contains the fovea, a small depression or pit at the center of the macula that gives the clearest vision. The blind spot is at the exit point of the optic nerve, at this point there are no rods or cones, and so all the light directed here are of no use. Eye color is created by the amount and type of pigment in the iris. Multiple genes inherited from each parent determine a person’s eye color. Though the eye is such a wonderful organ, it is also prone to diseases, infections, and other problems that could be minor or major, and could lead to blindness or poor
The four main components of the eye that are responsible for producing an image are the cornea, lens, ciliary muscles and retina. Incoming light rays first encounter the cornea. The bulging shape of the cornea causes it to refract light similar to a convex lens. Because of the great difference in optical density between the air and the corneal material and because of the shape of the cornea, most of the refraction to incoming light rays takes place here. Light rays then pass through the pupil, and then onto the lens. A small amount of additional refraction takes place here as the light rays are "fine tuned" so that they focus on the retina.
Imagine yourself in an art museum. You wander slowly from cold room to cold room, analyzing colored canvases on stark white walls. When you reach a particular work, do you prefer to stand back and take everything in at once? Or do you move so close to the painting that the individual brushstrokes become apparent? Several different sensory processes occur in your brain during this trip to the art museum; the majority of them involve visual inputs. How does your brain put together all the information that your eyes receive? This raises questions ranging from depth of field to color. The ideas of color perception and color theory are interesting ones. How do humans account for color and does it truly exist? I think that by examining not only the neurological on-goings in the brain, but by learning about color through philosophy, and even art, a greater understanding of it can be reached.

The design for this study will be a simple between subject experiment consisting of one experimental group and one control group. The independent variable will be warm colors. The dependent variable will be mood. The main goal is to determine if the independent variable will influence or cause difference in the specified dependent variable. The experiment group will spend 60 minutes in a warm paint color room and their mood will be measured. The control group will spend 60 minutes in a neutral paint color room and their mood will be measured.
The incredible thing about the human eye is that it can see objects to as far as 2 miles long.That’s almost 35 football fields! Let’s consider the mechanics of the eye. The eye is a clear ball with water-like fluids in there.You have the front of the eyeball which is translucent called the cornea. It’s extremely thin and its job is to protect the eye by refracting light that comes through. The next part of the eye is the pupil, which mostly everyone knows about.It is the black portion in your eye. Did you know that it gets its color from when light entering the eye is absorbed and it doesn’t leave the eye. You may also notice that when you’re looking at the pupil, you can see a different colored circle in them. This is called the iris, and it varies among everyone. Your actual eye color is determined by a pigment in the iris.The genes from your parents set a human’s eye color. The iris’s job is to widen or close depending on how bright or dark it is. If its bright and the sun is basically beaming down on you, the iris will adjust so your pupil will get smaller to only let a certain amount of light in. If you’re in the dark, your iris adjusts so your pupil will get bigger so a greater...
This reflected light passes through the lens and falls on to the retina of the eye. Here, the light induces nerve impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain, where it makes an image of the object, and then that image is passed on to muscles and glands.The eye is well protected. It lies within a bony socket of the skull. The eyelids guard it in front. They blink an average of once every six seconds. This washes the eye with the salty secretion from the tear, or lachrymal, glands.
