Detailed explanation-1: -Some stimuli are physical variations in the environment that affect receptor cell membrane potentials. Other stimuli include the electromagnetic radiation from visible light. For humans, the only electromagnetic energy that is perceived by our eyes is visible light.
Detailed explanation-2: -Electromagnetic receptors respond to light energy. Rods and cones are examples, since they respond to photons. Thermal receptors respond to changes in temperature.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to the activating stimulus sensory receptors can be classified into electromagnetic receptors (photoreceptor, thermoreceptor), mechanoreceptors (hearing, touch, balance, osmoreceptor), and chemoreceptors (odorant receptor, gustatory receptor).
