THE HUMAN EYE AND ITS COLOURFUL WORLD PHYSICS
1 The human eye is like a camera". Justify he slalcment.
2 Theeye lens forms an inverted real imagcof the objcct on the retina. But we perceive objccts a8
they are. How is it possible?
3 We are not able to see objects clearly for some timc when we enter from bright light to aronm
with dim light. After sometime, however, we are able to see hings in the dim-lit room. Why is it
so?
4 A personis not able to read the book comfortably but is able toread the matter written at far
off distance
Name the defect of vision he is suffering from, What is the cause
for this defect?
With the help of the ray diagram show that how can this defect be corrected.
5. Why is a nomal eye not able to see clearly the objects placed at 10 cm?
6. What is hypermetropia? Draw ray diagrams to show the image formation of an object by:
(i} Hypermetropic eye,
{iü} Correction made with a suitable lens for hypermetropic eye.
7. The ciliary muscles of a normal eye are there in:
a) most relaxed
b) most contracted state
In which of the two cases is the focal length of the lens more. Explain
8. What is cataract? How is it corrected?
9. The power of accommodation of the eye usually decreases with ageing. Why does it happen?
How is it corrected?
10. Which angle in a prism is known as the angle of the prism.
11. Why do we see the seven colours when white light disperses? Which colour
deviates the least?
12. Trace the path of a ray of light passing through a glass prism and label it.
13. Amonochromaticbeam of light does not split when it passes through a prisn while a beam of
White light does. Howare the two cases different from each other? Explain.
14. Name the scientistwho used a glass prism to oblain the spectrum of sunlight for the first time.
15. Aperson is able to see objects clecarly when these are lying at a distance between 50 cm and
30cm from his eye.
a) What kind of defect of vision is he suffering from?
b)What kind of lenses will he require to increase the range of vision from 25cm to infinity.
Explain
16. Thencar point of a bypermetropic person is [Link] the focal length and power of the
Jens used in his spectacles.

HUMAN EYE AND THE COLOURFUL WORLD WORKSHEET2
[Link] QUESTIONS
Imagine for a moment that the carth hns no atmosphere. What would be the calour of sky in such case? Give
reason for your answer.
2 Newton placed two triangular prisms in inverted position with respect to ench other He is then let white light
pass through [Link] was his observation on screcn?Druw diagrann of this cxperinent.
3 The power of alens is +1.5D. Name the type of defect of vis1o thut can be curcctcd wsng this lens. Draw a
ray diagramto illustrate this defcct of vision.
What is meant by least distancce of distinct vision? Mcntion its value
Explain how is the focal length of eye lens is changcd by the ciliary musclcs wihen object distance wwhen object
distance from it changcs?
6 Explain the formatian of rainbow in the sky with the help of diagran. State the phçni nena itvolved in proper
sequcnce.
is suffer1ng frorn. State
A person is unable to see the objects beyond 2m clearly, Name the defect of vSnn he vision and correction
two causes due to which this dofect may arise. Draw ray diugra1s to show the defect of
of this defect using an appropriate lens.
Why is normal eye not able tosee clearly the objects piaccd closer than 25cn?
What is atmospheric refraction? What is its cause?
10 How is the amount of light cntering the eye controlled?
Explain this faet with hc
11 The timc differencc between actual sun set and the apparent sun set is 2 minutes.
help of diagram
12 How does the size of particles affect the scattering of ligh!?
13 Red lights are used 8s Waming signals at road crossing. Why?
14 Name the following parts of human eye:
) Athin membrane through which light enters (iü) The part of eye
sensitive to light.
15 List the factors on which the angle of deviation through a prism depends.
16 Why do stars twinkie but not the planets?
17 "Stars seem higher than they actually ere"--expiais why?
18 Draw a ncat diagram to show reitasion of igha ay through a prism. Mark angle of incidence, angle of
cnergence and angie of deviation.
19 Why does power to see clearly near objec1s us weli us fur off objects dinunishes w1th age? Naie the detect|
that is likely to arise in eye such condition.
20 Explain the structurc and function of Humun eye.
21 I)What is Tyndall effect?
ii) Draw a figure which shows the arrangement for observing the phenomenon
of scattering of light in laboratory?
) What colours would you observe in the experiment? Why?
Numerical probleus
22 Aperson with a myopic eye cannot see beyond 1.2m distincly. Whut should be the puwer of corrective lens
used to restore iis prupcr vision?
23 The near point of Hyperrnetropic eye is 7Scn ftom lie cye. What is the power of the lens rcquired to enable
him to read clearly a book held at 25cm fiomn the eye?
24 The near point of Hypern1ctropic cyc is 100cn1 from lic cye. What is the power of the lens wich he requires
to read clearly abook hcld at 25cm rom the eyc?
25
The fr point of aperson is 2m. Find the power and focal length of the lens required to rectify this problem.
far point of a myopic person be at
17. Far point of a normal human eye is at infinity. Will the
infinity or less than infinity?
18. The far point of a myopic person is 150cm in front of eye. What is
the nature and power of the
lens required to correct this problem?
19. With the help of a diagram show the arrangement of prisns so that a beam of light entering into
the arrangement emerges out as a beam of white light.
20. Aglass prism splits abeam of white light into seven colours but aglass slab does not. Why?
