Question

In our eye cones identify

• A. Intensity of light
• B. Colour
• C. Taste
• D. Smell

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve this problem, we need to understand the function of cone cells in the human eye.

1. Role of Cones in the Retina:
The retina of our eye contains two types of photoreceptor cells – rods and cones.
- Rods are responsible for vision in dim light and detecting the intensity of light.
- Cones are responsible for detecting **color** and function best in bright light.

2. Evaluating the Options:
(1) Intensity of light – Incorrect (function of rods)
(2) Colour – Correct ✅ (cones are responsible for color vision)
(3) Taste – Incorrect (not related to eye function)
(4) Smell – Incorrect (not related to eye function)

Final Answer:
The correct option is (B) Colour.
