Lesson 9-10

1)Suppose you stared at a blue balloon, then sifted your eyes to a white surface and saw a yellow afterimage of the balloon. This afterimage would be explained by the fact that retinal neurons that respond most to blue-appearing light       , while those that respond to yellow- appearing light      .
