PHOTOPIC-SENSITIVITY CURVE

Definition and Fundamental Principles of the Photopic-Sensitivity Curve The photopic-sensitivity curve is a crucial construct in the field of psychophysics and vision science, formally defined as a graph illustrating the visual threshold as a function of incident light wavelength under strictly light-adapted conditions. This curve quantitatively describes the relative efficiency with which the human visual […]
