Our eyes are like little cameras! ๐ When light bounces off things, it goes into our eyes. Inside our eyes, there's a special part called the retina that catches the light, just like a camera film. Then, our brain turns it into pictures so we can see everything around us! โจ
Try blinkingโyour eyelids are like tiny curtains that keep your eyes safe and clean!
Seeing is like a teamwork of our eyes and brain! ๐โจ Light reflects off objects and enters our eyes through the cornea and pupil. The lens focuses the light onto the retina, which has tiny cells called rods and cones. These cells send signals to the brain, which turns them into the images we see!
Fun experiment: Close one eye and try to catch a ball. Itโs harder because you need both eyes to judge distance!
Vision is a complex process involving physics and biology! ๐ฌ Light rays bounce off objects and enter the eye through the cornea, which bends the light. The iris adjusts the pupil size to control light intake. The lens fine-tunes focus, projecting a flipped image onto the retina. Here, photoreceptor cells (rods for low light, cones for color) convert light into electrical signals sent via the optic nerve to the brain. The brain flips the image back and processes it!
Did you know? The eyeโs lens is so flexible that it changes shape 100,000 times a day!
