The Eyes - How we see

The Eye is one of our 5 sense organs. The main function of the eye is to detect the visual stimuli and to convey the gathered information to the brain via the Optic Nerve. The average human eye can see around 100 different shades of colour and has a resolution that equals 576 gigapixels. Parts of The Eye Orbits: The two eyes are located in deep sockets or orbits. Each eye contains an eyeball and can be rotated with the help of six muscles. Eyelids: The upper and the lower movable eyelids protect the outer surface of the eyeball and can shut out light. Each eyelid carries eyelashes which prevent entry of particles into the eyeball. Tear glands (lacrimal glands): They are located at the upper sideward portion of the orbit. Six to twelve ducts of the gland pour the secretion over the front surface. The tears lubricate the eye and clear out dust particles. The enzyme Lysozyme kills germs. Conjunctiva: It is a thin membrane covering the entire front part of the eye . It is continuous with ...

Image
Plasmas are a lot like gases, but the atoms are different because they are made up of free electrons and ions of the element. We don't find plasmas too often when we walk around. They aren't things that exist regularly on Earth. Plasma - The fourth state of matter Spectacular phenomenon like the Northern Lights or Ball lightning are types of plasmas. It takes a very special environment to keep plasmas going. They are different and unique from the other states of matter. Primarily, plasma can be found in two forms : - Hot plasma or thermal plasma, which may be found in the atmosphere of stars or among other high energy particles. - Cold plasma , which is dense in nature and can exist in space.       Ball lightening Northern lights    Finding the Plasma : We won't find plasmas just anywhere. Let's understand with an example of a light bulb - Think about a fluorescent light bulb . They are not like regular light bulbs, ...
