suppose a 490 nm waves of light enters your eyes, what receptors in the retina of your eyes will be stimulated and what color will be perceived by your eyes?
Answers
Answer:
This is the physics part of the topic. Light falls on specialized receptor cells (called cones) at the back of the eye (called the retina) and a signal is sent to the brain along a neural pathway (called the optic nerve).

6 490–530
7 500–575
8 515–557
Cones in the retina would be stimulated when 490nM waves of light would enter the eyes. Cyan (green+blue) colour would be perceived by eyes.
Explanation:
-Visible light is in the range approximately in the range 400–700nm.
-There are three sets of cones that have different sensitivity to light of different wavelengths corresponding to the red, green, and blue primaries.
-490 nM would activate the green and blue cones so the light would percieve as cyan colour (green+blue).
