  44. Give the definition for the sense of sight and its subdivisions of motion, color perception and depth perception.
    Its when natural or artificial light sources reflect from objects, so light waves enter eyes and records events, subdivisions are motion, where sight depends on timespan to record a continuous changing picture, color could be, not seeing or seeing color in present time or in past recall, depth is object sizes and distances from each object, one may have perception blindness, either in present time or past recall
