  • It's AumSum Time

  • Hi Guys!!

  • Can you guess the title of my next video?

  • Hurry up.

  • Write your guess in the comments section below.

  • Why do cats have vertical pupils?

  • Wait!!

  • I'll explain!!

  • A pupil is an opening in the iris which regulates the amount of light entering the eye.

  • Now, not only cats but also predators like crocodiles, snakes, etc. have vertical pupils.

  • Since these animals hunt in day as well as at night.

  • Vertical pupils allow a greater control of the amount of light entering the eye.

  • Greater than my round pupils??

  • Yes!!

  • Round pupils in humans can change their area by a factor of 15.

  • While, vertical pupils can change their area by a factor of 135.

  • Hence, on a bright day, predators can turn their pupils into narrow slits, allowing less light to enter.

  • Thus, preventing their eyes from getting dazzled.

  • Also, when there is less light or in near-darkness, the vertical pupils expand to a strikingly large extent.

  • Allowing more light and thus, helping the predators to see and hunt more preciously.

  • Topic: Human Eyes

  • What are eye floaters?

  • They are worms!!

  • Nooo!!

  • Eye floaters are tiny spots or thread-like strands that drift in our field of vision.

  • When we move our eyes and try to look at them directly, they seem to dart away.

  • Ya dude!!

  • I think they try to hide!!

  • Naahhh!!

  • When light from an object enters into our eyes.

  • It passes through the vitreous humor to form an image on the retina.

  • Vitreous humor is a clear gel-like substance.

  • It is 99% water and 1% collagen fibers.

  • These collagen fibers are spread evenly throughout the vitreous humor.

  • But sometimes, these fibers tend to come together forming clumps or strands.

  • When we look at a clear sky or a blank page and the clumps or strands are very close to the retina.

  • They cast a strong shadow on the retina.

  • Making them easily detectable in the clear background and thus, forming eye floaters.

  • Topic: Lateral Inversion

  • Why is ambulance written in reverse?

  • Maybe because there is some secret code hidden in it!!

  • Ohh!!

  • You're just impossible!!

  • It is because mirrors form laterally inverted images.

  • Lateral inversion is a phenomenon due to which the left side of an object appears to be the right side in the mirror.

  • The right side appears to be the left side.

  • Which hand are you raising now?

  • Left..

  • No Right..

  • Umm..

  • No left

  • Hahaha!!

  • Arrrghhh!!(Recorded)

  • Ok, Don't get angry!!

  • Let's get back to the question!!

  • We know that ambulance is an emergency vehicle.

  • Hence, when the driver of the front vehicle will see the ambulance in the rear-view mirror.

  • He will see the laterally inverted image of the word and thus read it correctly.

  • Giving way to the ambulance.
