According to the trichromatic theory of color vision, cones can be categorized based on
A)the location of a cone in one of three parts of the fovea
B) the peak sensitivity of a cone to the intensity of a light source
C) the peak sensitivity of a cone to one of three spectrums of wavelength
D) the level of inhibition in a cone relatively to three wavelengths of light

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The trichromatic theory of color vision suggests that cones are categorized based on their peak sensitivity to one of three different spectrums of wavelength: short (blue), medium (green), and long (red). This theory explains how the human eye perceives color through the combination of these three types of cone responses.
