Recently, I was reading through a psychology textbook (Introduction to Psychology, James W. Kalat, 7th edition) and it mentions that when we see something using our eyes, energy goes into our eyes and energy does not come out of our eyes. Is this true?
Based on what I know, light is a form of energy, it can behave like a particle at times, and like a wave at other times as well. When light hits an object, that it can be absorbed, reflected, transmitted, refracted or a combination of the four. Based on that, I think that energy not only comes into the eyes but also out of our eyes. When we see something, some of the light is transmitted into the eye and some is reflected (energy goes out) from the eye. As a result light (energy) is going into and out of our eyes simultaneously. In addition to that, the angle of which the light hits our eyes also affect whether the energy enters or leaves. Besides that light that enter our eyes can be scattered due to the surface of our pupil, so if the surface is not efficiently correct, light will scattered, with some transmitted into our eyes and some reflected away.
I have not found any specific scientific journal articles that describe the relationship between light energy and the eyes. Please direct me to any resources that can help me understand the relationship between the eyes and energy. Thank you very much for your time,
