Which color is most sensitive to the human eye?
Correct answer: C. Green
- A. Red
- B. Blue
- C. Green
- D. Yellow
Explanation
The human eye is most sensitive to the green portion of the visible light spectrum. This is because the human eye contains a higher concentration of green-sensitive cone cells, which are responsible for color vision in bright light conditions.The peak sensitivity of the human eye is around 555 nanometers, which corresponds to the green region of the visible spectrum.

About Optics
Light is studied through reflection, refraction, dispersion, interference, diffraction and polarization, linking ray behavior with its wave nature. Questions may involve mirrors, lenses, optical instruments, refractive index and image formation, while geometrical optics deals with rays and wave optics explains effects such as interference and diffraction.
