Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stroboscopic movement occurs when we perceive motion in low frame rates, such as a cartoon character appearing to hop across a movie screen. This is because the rapid succession of still images creates the illusion of movement. Afterimages refer to the lingering visual impression of a stimulus after it is removed, retinal disparity is the slight difference in images between the two eyes that allows for depth perception, and accommodation is the process by which the lens of the eye changes shape to focus on objects at different distances.
