← ScienceWhich risk sharply escalates when a large polarizing filter severely attenuates direct sunlight?
A)Retinal cones' thermal damage spikes✓
B)Rods perceive amplified scotopic signals
C)Photo bleaching effect disappears rapidly
D)Lens clarity increases substantially then
💡 Explanation
Filtering sunlight triggers phototoxicity, because pupil dilation occurs with dim light increasing influx, therefore thermal damage to retinal cones escalates, rather than photobleaching changes since cone saturation thresholds are reduced.
