Sensation & perception the flow of information from the outside physical world to the internal mental world occurs via the sense receptors: eyes, ears, skin, tongue, nose. Receptors retina contains receptors taht react to light energy and change it into electrochemical energy rods and cones have photopigment that is disrupted by light energy cones have less photopigment. 3 cone cells is the one who triggered it different cones are sensitive to different colours - blue, green, and red cones that are responsive to different wavelengths of light h of the. Aerial perspective as things get farther away, the light doesn"t reach your eye in an unfiltered way as much the farther away, the hazier the object looks the atmosphere changes how things look depending on their distance. Texture gradients if things get smaller and less distinct in consistent with things moving further away we assume that there is depth in a 2d relation.
