Question:

The part of the eye which is responsible for the conversion of image of an object into neural signals is:

Options:

iris

retina

vitreous humour

optic nerve

Correct Answer:

retina

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - retina 

The part of the eye responsible for the conversion of the image of an object into neural signals is: Retina

The retina is the innermost layer of the eye, located at the back of the eyeball. It contains millions of light-sensitive cells called photoreceptors, including rods and cones, which convert light rays into electrical signals. These signals are then transmitted to the brain through the optic nerve, where they are processed and interpreted as visual images. The retina acts like a film in a camera, capturing the image formed by the cornea and lens and converting it into neural signals that can be transmitted to the brain for visual perception.
