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

STUDENTS’ ACHIEVEMENT IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE AS CORRELATE OF ACHIEVEMENT IN MATHEMATICS IN LANGTANG NORTH LOCAL GOVERNMANT OF PLATEAU STATE, NIGERIA

STUDENTS’ ACHIEVEMENT IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE AS CORRELATE OF ACHIEVEMENT IN MATHEMATICS IN LANGTANG NORTH LOCAL GOVERNMANT OF PLATEAU STATE, NIGERIA Ajoro, M.D. and Mbwas, C.D. Department of Basic studies,  Plateau State College of Agriculture, Garkawa, Plateau State, Nigeria ABSTRACT The research design was correlational survey carried out to investigate the correlation between senior secondary two (SS2) students achievement in English Language and their achievement in Mathematics in Langtang North Local Government area of Plateau State. The study made use of 398 students from 7 schools of the 17 schools using systematic sampling technique. Two research questions were asked and 2 null hypotheses were made. Literature was reviewed and achievement test in English Language and Mathematics were conducted. Reliability coefficients of 0.99 for English language achievement test and 0.98 for Mathematics achievement were obtained using Kuder Richardson KR 21 analysis from th...

A SURVEY OF THE AWARENESS OF VACCINATING LOCAL CHICKENS (Gallus domesticus) WITHIN THE CENTRAL ZONE OF PLATEAU STATE

A SURVEY OF THE AWARENESS OF VACCINATING LOCAL CHICKENS ( Gallus domesticus) WITHIN THE CENTRAL ZONE OF PLATEAU STATE Biyal, D.H., Deshi, M.B; and Gochuk, Z.D. Plateau State College of Agriculture, Garkawa, Plateau State, Nigeria ABSTRACT The research was conducted to access the level of awareness and use of vaccines on local chickens (Gallus domesticus) within the central zone of Plateau State. Five (5) districts were randomly selected, one from each of the five LGA’s that make up the central zone of Plateau State. 400 questionnaires were distributed, filled and retrieved from the 5 LGAs, each with 80. The data was analyzed using simple percentage. Result showed that 177 (44.25%) of the respondents were poor subsistent farmers and civil servants make up only 80 (20.00%) that raise local chickens. One hundred and seventy nine, 179 (44.75%) of the respondents have been into it between 11 – 20 years, and those over 20 years were only 84% (21.00%). Only 84 (21.00%) out of t...
