| (a) |
Identify questions to investigate arising from practical problems and issues related to human vision (e.g., “How are contact lenses crafted?”, “Do humans see colour the same way?”, and “What are some problems associated with human vision?”). |
| (b) |
Illustrate, using a geometrical ray diagram, how the human eye sees objects. |
| (c) |
Compare the functional operation of the human eye to that of a camera or other optical instruments in focusing an image. |
| (d) |
Compare human vision with that of other vertebrates and invertebrates, including the function and design of the eye. |
| (e) |
Explain how the human eye detects colour, and demonstrate that the ability to perceive colour may vary from person to person. |
| (f) |
Explain how colours are produced, using both the additive and subtractive models of colour, and identify applications of the additive and subtractive models of colour in daily life, including the use of traditional dyes. |
| (g) |
Describe the operation of optical technologies that enhance human vision (e.g., contact lenses, glasses, night vision scopes, and snow goggles). |
A light kit is enclosed with this book. It includes three colour gels (red, blue, yellow), three sheets of polarized film and one diffraction grating peephole.
