WHAT DOES PHOTOPIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

photopic

Photopic vision

Photopic vision is the vision of the eye under well-lit conditions. In humans and many other animals, photopic vision allows color perception, mediated by cone cells, and a significantly higher visual acuity and temporal resolution than available with scotopic vision. The human eye uses three types of cones to sense light in three bands of color. The biological pigments of the cones have maximum absorption values at wavelengths of about 420 nm, 534 nm, resp. 564 nm. Their sensitivity ranges overlap to provide vision throughout the visible spectrum. The maximum efficacy is 683 lm/W at a wavelength of 555 nm. The wavelengths for when you are in photopic vary with the intensity of light. For the blue-green region, 50% of the light reaches the image point of the retina. Adaptation is much faster under photopic vision. Adaptation can occur in 5 minutes for photopic vision but it can take 30 minutes to transition from photopic to scotopic. Most older adults lose photopic spatial contrast sensitivity. Older adults in their 70s require about three times for more contrast to detect high spatial frequencies than young adults in their 20s.

Definition of photopic in the English dictionary

The definition of photopic in the dictionary is relating to the normal adaptation of the eye to light; day vision.
