The series of events in which a visible light stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. A visible light stimulus is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived visually by an organism; for organisms lacking a visual system, this can be defined as light with a wavelength within the range 380 to 780 nm. The series of events in which a light stimulus (in the form of photons) is received and converted into a molecular signal. The series of events in which an (non-living) abiotic stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. The sequence of reactions within a cell required to convert absorbed photons from visible light into a molecular signal. A visible light stimulus is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived visually by an organism; for organisms lacking a visual system, this can be defined as light with a wavelength within the range 380 to 780 nm. The series of events in which an external stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. The series of events involved in visual perception in which a sensory light stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. A change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a light stimulus, electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths classified as infrared, visible or ultraviolet light.
