underwater visual perception

Underwater visual perception involves how our eyes and brain interpret visual information beneath the water's surface. Water affects light by absorbing and scattering it, which can reduce clarity and alter colors—reds fade quickly while blues and greens penetrate deeper. The visibility depends on factors like water clarity, depth, and particles. Our eyes adapt to these conditions, and some aquatic animals have specialized vision suited to their environment. Overall, underwater perception is a dynamic process influenced by physical light properties and biological adaptations, shaping how we see and interpret the aquatic world.
