Physical stimulus

Explanation:

The part of the central nervous system that receives, processes and interpret visual information is known as the visual system.

In order for this to happen, there must be a stimuli to evoke the process.

An example of such stimuli is the physical stimuli.

This is a stimuli that directly evokes the response of one of the five senses.

Therefore, light wave was a physical stimulus that enabled Claudio to see the dolphin near the boat.
