Cognitive Science 126 Perception Midterm | Questions and Correct Answers | Latest Update 2024/2025 | Graded A+ Wavelength of visual light - Answer -400-700 mm blue light has shorter wavelength, higher frequency red light has longer wavelength, lower frequency Particle properties of light - Answer - Tubes - Answer -One direction of light can be absorbed by each point Lens - Answer -refracts/converges light focal point - Answer -where an image will be reconstructed after being refracted through a lens Pinhole optics - Answer -tiny hole only allows one point of light from each point on the actual object image is projected upside downsmaller hole -> better resolution, lower brightness Camera obscura - Answer -large pinhole camera in SF Refraction - Answer -changing the angle of light by slowing it down light moves at different speed through different substances Refractive index - Answer -how much light bends towards a surface proportional to the ratio of the speeds power of lenses are measured in dioptecs = 1/f, where f = focal length more powerful lenses focus closer/have smaller focal length Converging prism - Answer -a prism that converges light by refracting it inward Photoreceptors - Answer -Rod cells and Cone cel
