1.1 It is blue colour. This is because your eyes use the red, green and blue cone cells to perceive
white light, but because the red cone cells are fatigued, you do not see red.
1.2 Independent variable: Red circle
Dependent variable: After image persistence/ seconds (s)
Control variable: Stopwatch

1.3 24 seconds

1.4 Persistence time of afterimage will also increase. Afterimage is an image that continues to
appear in the eyes after a period of exposure to the original image.

1.5 Color blindness is a genetic condition caused by a difference in how one or more of the
light-sensitive cells found in the retina of the eye respond to certain colors.
