ABSTRACT
The paper investigated the role of electrical activities in visual perception in human and animals. This review highlighted the Absorption of zero and one photon in visual perception, Measurement of visual acuity, Optical constraints on visual perception, Photochemistry of Vision and  colour vision, however Human ability to see is strictly dependent on the electrical signals  generated within the body. Among the recommendations, physics, is an umbrella of medicine and as such be made compulsory in all spheres of the medical practice.    


INTRODUCTION
The retina contains light transduction elements called photoreceptors which are the rods and the cones. Their names depict their morphology Arden and Hogg (1992)
The discs in the photoreceptors contain light sensitive chemical and these discs store a large concentration of Ca++, the light incident on the eye meet the photoreceptors from behind. The absorption of light energy by these discs causes a change in structure of the receptors but not a change in shape. The absorption of light by the Ca++ block and the Na+ release into the nerves leads to an inhibitory action of the light when it falls on the retina. This is a process of hyperpotamation of the nerves due to the light-absorption. The transmitter released by the photoreceptor is suppressed by hyperpotances, the second order neurons. By this process the light signal is signaled to the second order retinal neurons and from there to the visual cortex, hence depolarization of the rods in the Clark Arden and Hogg (1992)
          In short in visual perception, light energy hv is converted to electrical energy by the process of hyperpolarization by the photoreceptors.

Absorption of zero and one photon in visual perception
          The detection is assumed to be a noise free event and the distribution of photon in the test pulse is given by the poison distribution:
P(n, ) = e-n   n

GEOELECTRIC INVESTIGATION OF THE GROUNDWATER RESOURCE POTENTIAL IN PARTS OF OMUMA LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, RIVERS STATE, SOUTH EASTERN NIGER DELTA

GEOELECTRIC INVESTIGATION OF THE GROUNDWATER RESOURCE POTENTIAL IN PARTS OF OMUMA LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, RIVERS STATE, SOUTH EASTERN NIGER DELTA Womuru Edwin Nnamdi and Ibim, Dagogo Franklin Department of Physics, Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria Email: edwinwomuru@gmail.com ABSTRACT Four Schlumberger vertical electrical soundings (VES) were carried out in Omuma, South Easthern Niger Delta, Nigeria. The vertical electrical sounding data were modeled using resist software into four layers. The first layer is the top soil while that of the other layers varied between sand, coarse grained sand and gravelly sand. The most common lithology is coarse grained sand. The result

CORRUPTION AND VALUE RE-ORIENTENTION IN NIGERIA: IMPLICATION TO SCIENCE EDUCATION

CORRUPTION AND VALUE RE-ORIENTENTION IN NIGERIA: IMPLICATION TO SCIENCE EDUCATION 1 Paulina R. Danladi, 2 Aisha Mohammed and 3 Hafsatu A. Bello 1 Department of Mathematics, 2&3 Department of Biology Federal College of Education, Yola, Adamawa State, Nigeria ABSTRACT This paper focuses on Corruption and Value Re-Orientation in Nigeria: Implication to Science Education. The paper defines what corruption and value re-orientation are doing dishonest illegal or immoral things in order to gain money or power and value re-orientation as the principles of right of an individual or social change according to Advance Learner Dictionary. Corruptions in Science also discussed in detailed among which are vaccine defenders, human guinea pig, vaccine-autism among others. Challenges of value re-orientation in Nigeria include parental care, societal influence and drug abuse is discussed in details. Also there is need for value re-orientation in Nigeria among which are religions and ethni...
