Bifocal lenses (iv) Far-sightedness. (b) Why is the normal eye unable to focus on an object placed within 10 cm from the eye?
17. What is hypermetropia (far-sighted-ness)? Draw a ray diagram to show how this defect can be corrected using a lens.
18. What is meant by the term 'power of accommodation' of human eye? How does it help a person to see nearby as well as distant
objects clearly.
19. Name the part of our eyes that helps us to focus near & distant objects in quick succession.
20. What are the values of (i) near point & (ii) far point of vision of a normal adult person? A student has difficulty in reading the
blackboard while sitting in the last row. What could be his defect of vision?
21. What are the functions of (a) pupil (b) iris (c) ciliary muscles (d) eye lens (e) retina (f) rods (g) cones (h) cornea.
22. What is meant by the term “power of accommodation”?
ATMOSPHERIC REFRACTION, DISPERSION, SCATTERING:-
23. At noon the sun appears white as (a) light is least scattered (b) all the colors of the white light are scattered away (c) blue colour
is scattered the most (d) red color is scattered the most
24. Which of the following phenomena of light are involved in the formation of a rainbow? (a) Reflection, refraction and dispersion
(b) Refraction, dispersion and total internal reflection (c) Refraction, dispersion and internal reflection (d) Dispersion, scattering
and total internal reflection
25. A student very cautiously traces the path of a ray through a glass slab for different values of the angle of incidence (∠i). He then
measures the corresponding values of the angle of incidence. On analysing these measurements of angles, his conclusion would
be (A) ∠i > ∠r > ∠e (B) ∠i = ∠r > ∠e (C) ∠i < ∠r < ∠e (D) ∠i = ∠r < ∠e
