Detailed explanation-1: -Persistence of vision is the eye’s ability to keep seeing an image of an object for a fraction of a second after the object has disappeared from view. The principle of persistence of vision is used in making motion pictures and animated cartoons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Even after the object is removed, the impression of an object seen by the eye remains on the retina for 1/16th of a second. If we see another object before this time, the impressions of the two merge to give us a sense of continuity. This eye property is known as persistence of vision.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cinematography works on the principle of persistence of vision.
