Question
In which condition, rods and cones performs better correctly?A) Under low light condition, rods and cones are best together.B) Under high light condition, rods and cones are best together.C) Rods are best under the high light condition, cones are best under the low light condition.D) Rods are best under the low light condition, cones are best under the high lightcondition.E) None of the above is correct
Solution
The correct answer is D) Rods are best under the low light condition, cones are best under the high light condition.
Rods and cones are two types of photoreceptor cells found in the retina of the eyes.
Rods are responsible for vision at low light levels (scotopic vision). They do not mediate color vision, and have a low spatial acuity.
On the other hand, cones are active at higher light levels (photopic vision), are capable of color vision and are responsible for high spatial acuity.
So, rods perform better in low light conditions and cones perform better in high light conditions.
