Question
1) What if human vision were augmented to include an additional 100 nm on either the infrared or the ultraviolet sides of the visible spectrum? What additional items or effects would we be able to perceive that we cannot now perceive?
2) The sensitivity of our vision is also dependent on the amount of light we can collect before processing it into an image. How would our perception change if we could speed or slow this process?
3) Choose one band of the electromagnetic spectrum other than the visible spectrum. Describe the physical principle behind the instruments used to detect light in this portion of the spectrum. How do physicists, astronomers or other scientists use this portion of the spectrum to increase our understanding of the world we live in?
Explanation / Answer
(1)if human vision were augmented to include an additional 100 nm on either the infrared or the ultraviolet sides of the visible spectrum, our vision will definitely at first identify new wavelengths coming from sun both in infrared and in ultra violet domain.
