Question

why is the pupil of the eye black?

Answer 1

Pupil of the eye is not black.It is just a space for the light can pass and can form an image on Retina.Since there is dark inside our eyeball,it appears to be black.

Answer 2

The pupil isn't actually black - it's a hole in the middle of the eye that lets light into the back of the eye so that it can focus on the retina and be sent to the brain. It only looks black because there isn't much light behind it. (Imagine that it's nighttime and pitch black outside. When you look out a window, you aren't able to see anything that's outside.)

Answer 3

It is not black, it just appears black because it is a window into the dark recesses of the eye. If you were to shine a light in there, before the iris closed, you would see the back of the eye ball.

Answer 4

IT is important 2 note that a body appears of that color which it reflects out of the 7 colors of the spectrum.

Iris of the eye has 2 absorb maximum amount of light and reflects none thus appearin black(a phenomenon similar 2 WHY black holes appear black)

Answer 5

The eyball consists of 3 layers, sclera,choroid and retina. From the pupil the choroid is visible which is usually black.
