Based on the relationship between perception and the physical properties of light, you should infer that if the human nervous system were not wired to respond to differences in the wavelengths of reflected light, people would not be able to:
A)detect differences in brightness
B)respond accurately to movement
C)detect differences in colors
D)have full peripheral vision

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Perception of color is directly related to the physical properties of light, specifically the wavelengths of light that are reflected off of objects. If the nervous system did not respond to differences in wavelengths, people would not be able to detect differences in color. The ability to detect differences in brightness is related to the intensity of light, while accurate response to movement and full peripheral vision are more related to the functioning of the visual system as a whole.
