Propagation of sound

Merging frequency and upper hearing threshold

Determination of the preferential temperature

Temperature and heart rate

Detection of accommodation with an optometer

Principle

When looking through a slide with two very small holes located very close together (optometer aperture), in the absence of accommodation relative to their distance, objects close to the eye appear to be relatively well focussed except that there appear to ...

Spectral colour splitting and recombination to white light

Subjective colour mixing with the colour wheel

Principle

If a circular disc separated into various differently coloured sectors is rotated by a motor so fast that the eye can no longer distinguish the colours, a mixed colour is then perceived. By varying the composition and size of the sectors, it is possible to give the ...

Determination of the human visual field

Principle

This experiment is to determine the field of vision of the right and left eyes using the colours white, red and green and to determine the location of the blind spot. This involves focussing on a mark which is then moved slowly from the periphery on the inside of th ...

Temporal resolution of the human eye

Electronystagmography

Principle

Electronystagmography (ENG) is an electrophysiological diagnostic procedure for measuring the movement of the eyes. Several electrodes measure the potential differences that are caused by the eye movements. When looking at a moving, regular, repetiti ...
