[Answer to ques. #1]  The retina contains special light-sensitive cells known as rods and cones. Rods are sensitive to all levels of light, but not to color. Rods function in both daytime and nighttime vision. Rods can detect objects in very low light, although the image may be less than optimal. Cones, on the other hand, are sensitive only to color. The cones respond to red, green, and blue light. It is difficult to see colors in dim light because it takes many photons to activate a cone.
