Human Eye - Revision questions


1.What is meant by the term 'power of accommodation' of the human eye? How
does it help a person nearby as well as distant objects clearly?
2. (a) What is meant by scattering of light?
(b) State the factors on which the color of the scattered light perceived by us
depends.
3. (a) No rainbow could be observed from the surface of the moon by the astronauts.
What possible reason?
(b) Explain the process of dispersion of light.
4. If the earth has no atmosphere, what change would be observed in the length of
day? Give reasons.
5. Study the diagram given below and answer the questions that follow it.

(a) Identify the defect of vision. Give reason for your answer.
(b) State two possible causes of this defect.
(c) How can we rectify this defect? Explain with a diagram.
6. Draw the well labeled diagram of the human eye and write the functions of retina,
cornea, ciliary muscles, pupil and iris.
7. Define atmospheric refraction. Explain the process of advanced sunrise and
delayed sunset.
8. Why do stars twinkle but the planets don't?
9. Savera passed a beam of white light through a series of equilateral prisms as
shown.

a) What colour(s) will be seen on the screen?


(b) Copy the diagram above and draw the beam entering Prism 1 and emerging from
Prism 3 and falling on the screen
(c) Name all the processes that take place when the beam of light enters Prism 1
and emerges from Prism 3.
10. Explain why?
(a) A myopic person prefers to remove his spectacles while reading a book.
(b) A hypermetropic person prefers to remove his spectacles while looking at the
sky.
11. a) Name the defects of vision when a person cannot see clearly:
(i ) the nearby objects
(ii) the distant objects
(b) A person suffering from a defect of vision uses a corrective lens of power -5D.
Find the nature and focal length of the corrective lens.
(c) Why does the power of the eye to see clearly nearby as well as far off objects
diminishing with age? Name the defects that are likely to arise in the eye in such a
condition.
12. Study the diagram given below and answer the questions that follow it.

(a) Identify the defect of vision. Give reason for your answer.
(b) State two possible causes of this defect.
(c) How can we rectify this defect? Explain with a diagram.
13. A beam of white light falling on a glass prism gets split up into seven colours
marked 1 to 7 as shown in the diagram. A student makes the following statements
about the spectrum observed on the screen.

(a) The colours at positions marked 3 and 5 are similar to the colour of the sky and
the colour of gold metal respectively.
Is the above statement made by the student correct or incorrect? Justify.
b) Which two positions correspond closely to the colour of
(i) a brinjal
(ii) 'danger' or stop signal lights?
14. (a) What is the best eye correction procedure?
(b) Explain the two main defects of vision, and how can they be corrected?
15. What is meant by astigmatism? List its causes and corrective measures.
16. a)Rupal suffers from myopia. Where would the image form in her eye?
b)Name the type of lens that is generally used to correct myopia
c) Rupal underwent cataract surgery and her eye lens was replaced with an artificial
lens with a fixed focal length, made of a plastic material, silicone. State one likely
visual disadvantage that Rupal is likely to experience as compared to a person who
has normal eyesight.
d) Identify the parts of the eye labeled in the diagram from the descriptions given
below by writing the labels as your answer.

i) It helps in changing the focal length of the lens.


ii) It causes most of the refraction of the light entering the eye
iii) It controls the amount of light entering the eye
iv) It acts as a screen on which the image is formed.
17. a)Elaborate process of accommodation in the human eye
b) Explain how the ciliary muscles, lens, and retina work together to adjust the focus
from distant to nearby objects.
c) Discuss the role of the optic nerve in transmitting the final image to the brain and
how the brain interprets this information to create visual perception.
18.(a)Explain how it causes phenomenon such as the apparent shift in the position
of stars and twinkling of star
(b) Discuss the effect of atmospheric refraction on the duration of day and night.
19. Explain the formation of a rainbow. Describe the roles of refraction, dispersion
and total internal reflection in this phenomenon.
20. State the cause of dispersion of white light by a glass prism. How did Newton,
using two identical glass prisms, explained but white light is made of seven colours?
Draw a ray diagram to show the path of a narrow beam of white light, through a
combination of two identical prisms arranged together in inverted position with
respect to each other, when it is allowed to fall obliquely on one of the faces of the
first prism of the combination.
