The photoreceptors that sense light are called rods and cones. Rods are responsible for vision in dim lighting conditions and cones are responsible for color vision and visual acuity in bright lighting conditions. These photoreceptors are located in the retina, which is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. When light enters the eye and reaches the retina, it interacts with the rods and cones, triggering electrical signals that are sent to the brain for interpretation.
