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 a stimulus is received by a cell or organism and converted into a molecular signal. The series of events involved in sensory perception in which a sensory stimulus is received by a cell 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 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. The series of events involved in magnetoception in which a light stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. Downstream processing of the light information in addition to other sensory data allows organisms to perceive the orientation of a magnetic field. 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. The series of events required for an organism to receive a sensory light stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. This is a neurological process. The series of events required for an organism to receive a sensory stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. This is a neurological process. The series of events in which a sensory light stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal.
