Question
The image formed on the retina is inverted, but we see the object erect. Why?
✓
Answer
- The inverted image formed on the light sensitive cells (called rods and cones of retina), generates electrical signals.
- These signals reach the brain via the optic nerve. It is the brain that interprets this image and while processing the image it helps in perceiving the objects as they are.
