The work flow of light energy with a wavelength value and the spectral sensitivity of the eye for this length λ = 555 mm (green light). To produce the same sensation‚ the flow of red light with λ = 650 nm should be almost 10 times greater than the flow of green light. This means that the sensitivity of the eye to green light is 10 times greater than the sensitivity to red. In light below 400 nm and above 780 nm sensitivity of the eye is 0. The flow of light energy waves outside the visible area

The study claimed that “anxiety sensitivity is now widely regarded as a vulnerability factor in the development of anxiety disorders” (Zavos et al.‚ 2012‚ p. 204). In other words‚ anxiety sensitivity is the genetic susceptibility to anxiety disorders.
