Answer
- C About 30 minutes
Explanation
The cones adapt within a few minutes, while the more light-sensitive rods need about 30 minutes for full dark adaptation. A single bright flash of light can undo a large part of this adaptation. For this reason, dimmed cockpit lighting is used before night flights.
