SMT #1: Lens Terminologies, and The Human Eye
I. Identification: Identify the word or group of words described in each statement. Write your
answer on the space provided before the number.
Focal length 1. It refers to the distance between the center of a lens and the
focal point.
Principal focus 2. It refers to the curvature of a lens that causes parallel light rays
to converge to a point.
Cornea 3. It is the transparent, curved layer at the front of the eye that
helps to focus incoming light.
Iris 4. It is the colored part of the eye that regulates the amount of
light entering the eye.
Vitreous humor 5. It refers to the jelly-like substance that fills the main chamber
of the eye behind the lens.
Cones 6. It refers to the photoreceptor cells in the retina that are
responsible for color vision.
Fovea 7. It is the part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed central
vision.
Sclera 8. It refers to the tough, white outer layer of the eye that gives it
its shape and protection.
Pupil 9. It is the opening in the center of the iris that allows light to
enter the eye.
Virtual images 10. What type of image is formed when light rays from an object
converge and cross over on the same side of the lens?
Virtual images 11. What type of image is formed by a diverging lens?
Converging lens 12. What lens forms an image that is upright and virtual?
convex
Object distance 13. It refers to the distance between the lens and the object being
imaged.
Real 14. What type of image is formed when light rays from an object
converge and cross over on opposite sides of the lens?
Diverging 15. It refers to a type of lens that forms an image that is inverted
lens/concave and real.
II. True or False: Write TRUE if the statement is correct; and FALSE if the statement is
incorrect. Write your answers in the space provided before the number.
T 16. The focal length of a lens affects the size of the image formed.
F 17. The image formed by a converging lens is always inverted.
F 18. The size of the image formed by a lens is determined solely by the size
of the object being imaged.
T 19. A virtual image can be projected onto a screen.
T 20. The image formed by a diverging lens is always virtual.
T 21. A converging lens can form both real and virtual images.
T 22. The distance between the lens and the object affects the size of the
image formed.
T 23. A concave lens always forms a virtual image.
F 24. A magnifying glass is an example of a diverging lens.
T 25. The distance between the lens and the screen affects the size of the
image formed.
T 26. The human eye can distinguish about 10 million different colors.
F 27. The retina is located at the front of the eye.
T 28. The iris controls the amount of light entering the eye.
T 29. The cornea is the part of the eye that focuses light onto the retina.
T 30. The lens of the eye changes shape to focus on objects at different
distances.
T 31. The optic nerve sends visual information from the eye to the brain.
T 32. The human eye has six muscles that control eye movement.
F 33. The blind spot is located in the center of the visual field.
F 34. The pupil dilates in response to bright light.
F 35. The human eye is the same size at birth as it is in adulthood
III. Labelling: Label the parts of the eye.
