This document contains 28 multiple choice questions from the CBSE Class 10 Science chapter on the Human Eye and Colorful World. The questions cover topics like myopia, the role of different parts of the eye, accommodation, dispersion of light, scattering of light in the atmosphere, and more. Key points addressed include that myopia can be corrected with a concave lens, red light scatters the least in the atmosphere, accommodation is the ability of the eye lens to change focal length, and the retina is where images are formed in the eye.
