Cones enable us to see three primary colours.

Accepted Answer

The statement cones enable us to see three primary colours is true.

Cones play a very important role in our ability to see colour. Our eyes have two main types of light-sensitive cells, namely, the cones and the rods. Cones are concentrated in the central part of the retina called the fovea, responsible for sharp, detailed vision and colour perception. There are three types of cones, each containing a specific pigment sensitive to different wavelengths of light.

Red cones are most sensitive to long wavelengths.

Green cones are most sensitive to medium wavelengths.

Blue cones are most sensitive to short wavelengths.

When light enters the eye and stimulates these cones, they send signals to the brain, which then processes these signals to create the perception of colour. By combining the signals from these three types of cones in different proportions, our brain can perceive a wide range of colours and shades. This process enables us to see the vast array of colours in the world around us.
