BIOPHYSICS OF VISION AND HEARING

This study has the general objective of understanding that Physics is a science applied to other sciences; that, besides seeking to explain purely natural phenomena such as the mechanisms of vision and hearing, it also uses this acquired knowledge to improve the quality of life. To contextualize the issues addressed (visible light and sound wave), to show the implication of this in the student's daily life through the biophysics of vision and hearing in the 8th grade, and to introduce them to theoretical physics in Science, a Comic Book was developed, 'appealing' to the ludic and the imaginary, in order to arouse the student's spontaneous interest. With this, it is expected that the individual will be able to understand that necessary corrections in the visual and/or hearing apparatus only became possible after Physics better understood the mechanism by which humans see and hear.
