Concept explainers
To Explain: Eye pupils appear black.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The appearance of the pupil is black because the rays are absorbed by tissues or undergo diffused reflection within the eye.
The black color of the pupil helps the eye to absorb more light so that a sufficient amount of light can fall to the retina and the visibility becomes clear. The size of the pupil changes with the amount of light that fallson it.
Conclusion:
The eye pupils appear black because the rays are absorbed by tissues or undergo diffused reflection within the eye.
