Chapter 11 Human Eye and the Colourful World

Answers

1. a. Black
Explanation: The sky appears blue due to scattering of the blue colour by the
earth's atmosphere. In moon there is no atmosphere hence nothing to scatter
light. Thus, the sky appears dark as seen from the moon surface.

2. b. Infinity
Explanation: The far point is infinity for normal eye. It is the farthest point
upto which the eye can see object clearly.

3. d. Opening of the pupil


Explanation: The pupil of an eye provide a variable aperture, whose size is
controlled by iris
a. When the light is bright: Iris contracts the pupil, so that less light enters the
eye.
b. When the light is dim: Iris expand the pupil, so that more light enters the
eye. Pupil open completely, when iris is relaxed.

4. a. Accommodation
Explanation: The ability of the eye to focus both near and distant objects, by
adjusting the focal length of the eye lens, is called the accommodation of the
eye.

5. c. is directly proportional to the thickness of the glass slab


Explanation: The lateral displacement of an incident ray passing out of a
rectangular glass slab is directly proportional to the thickness of glass slab,
angle of incidence, and refractive index however it is inversely proportional to
the wavelength of incident light.

6. Rods are sensitive to light. More the intensity of light, more are they excited.

7. Sclerotic is to provide a solid shape to eye and protect it from external injuries.
8. The intensity of scattered light is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude
a. of scattered light, i.e means greater the amplitude greater will be intensity
of refraction and vice versa.

9. Optic nerves carry sensation of vision from eye to brain.

10. The pupil of the eye acts as a variable aperture whose size can be varied with the help
of the iris. When the light is very bright, the iris contracts the pupil to allow less light
to enter the eye. However in dim light the iris expands the pupil to allow more light to
enter the eye. When we enter from a bright light area to a dim light area, the pupil is
not able to expand quickly to allow more light into the eye. We are therefore not able
to see the objects in dim light room momentarily.

11. i. The defects arise due to the gradual weakening of the ciliary muscles which is
used to change the shape of lens in eye to help foccusing. Its weaking leads to
decreased flexibility of the eye lens. Sometimes, a person may suffer from both
myopia and hypermetropia. This condition of defect is called presbyopia. Such
people often require bi-focal lenses to correct this defect.
ii. Using lens formula,

[given, v = -60 cm , u = ]
f = -60 cm. Thus, the lens used will be concave or diverging lens as the focal length
is negative.

12. As Planets can be considered as a collection of a large number of point-size sources of


light, Planets do not twinkle because they appear larger in size than the stars as they
are relatively closer to earth. The different parts of these planets produce either
brighter or dimmer effect in such a way that the average of brighter and dimmer
effect is zero. Hence, the twinkling effects of the planets are nullified and they do not
twinkle.

13. The student has difficulty in reading the blackboard in the last row implies that the
student has difficulty in seeing the distant objects. This type of defect where a person
cannot see beyond certain distance is called myopia. It could be corrected by wearing
concave lens of suitable power.

14. a. The student is suffering from myopia.


b.

c. Concave lens
i. Decrease in the focal length of the eye lens
ii. Eye ball gets elongated.

d.

15. Here, u = - 25 cm (Normal near point)


v = -1 m = -100 cm (Near point of defective eye)
f=?
Using lens formula,

or =

or =

or =

or f = = 33.3 cm
Thus, the convex lens of focal length +33.3 cm is required to correct defect.
Here, f = 33.3 cm or 0.33 m
Now, Power P =

= +3.0 D
Thus, the convex lens of power +3.0 D is required.
