Optics concept 1:Refraction
Refraction is the deflection from a straight path undergone by a wave (such as light) when it passes obliquely from one medium (such as air) into another medium (such as water) in which its velocity is different.

An eye gathers light from an area with an angular size of, say, 10°
All else being equal, a naked photoreceptor will be 130x more sensitive than an eye with an angular resolution of 10°.

• Eyes allowed chitons to distinguish 10° objects from shadows.
• However, eyes decreased optical sensitivity: we found that chitons without eyes responded to changes in illumination of 1%, while chitons with eyes only responded to changes in illumination of 5% or greater.
• Eyeless chitons also responded to faster-moving objects.

“Bivalve lineages may be aptly described as evolutionary eye factories, in the sense that they have developed eyes of many
different types, often at unusual positions of the body”
