Humans receive the vast majority of sensory perception through the
eyes and ears. This non-technical book examines the everyday
physics behind hearing and vision to help readers understand more
about themselves and their physical environment. It begins with a
thorough discussion of sound and light waves then goes on to
discuss how our eyes and ears gather and process information from
those waves. The ears and eyes are examined in their physical form
in humans as well as in other members of the animal kingdom to show
differences in how each receive information from the same waves and
how hearing and vision may have evolved in humans. The book also
discusses the perception of sound by examples such as sound
intensity, decibels, and masking while also covering the basis of
music and resonance. Vision and the perception of light and color
are also discussed at length including the psychology of color
perception and color mixing.
