उत्तर
Adaptation is the process by which the human eye adjusts to changes in light intensity.
- Light Adaptation: When a person moves from a dark environment to a brightly lit area (e.g., stepping out of a cinema hall in the afternoon), they initially experience a dazzling effect. After a few seconds, the eyes adjust to the brightness. This process is called light adaptation.
- Dark Adaptation: When a person enters a dark area from a brightly lit environment (e.g., entering a cinema hall), they initially struggle to see clearly. Gradually, their vision improves as the eyes adapt to the darkness. This process is called dark adaptation.
