Living organisms sense light from the environment by photoreceptors. Light, as waves carry energy, contains energy by different wavelength. In vision, light is the stimulus input. Light energy goes into eyes stimulate photoreceptor in eyes.
Sensation is the activation of the sense organs by a source of physical energy. While perception the sorting out, interpretation, analysis, and integration of stimuli by the sense organs and brain.
Sensation and perception are two separate processes that are very closely related. Sensation is input about the physical world obtained by our sensory receptors, and perception is the process by which the brain selects, organizes, and interprets these sensations.
The sorting out, interpretation, analysis, and integration of stimuli by the sense organs and brain is known as perception.
In psychology, sensation is defined as the process of the sensory organs transforming physical energy into neurological impulses the brain interprets as the five senses of vision, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. This process is known as transduction, or the conversion of one form of energy into another.

Sensation is the initial process where our sensory organs, such as the eyes, ears, and skin, detect external stimuli (energy) from the environment.
Physical stimuli that consistently produce errors in perception are called illusions.
The physical process during which our sensory organsthose involved with hearing and taste, for examplerespond to external stimuli is called sensation. Sensation happens when you eat noodles or feel the wind on your face or hear a car horn honking in the distance.
