  2. Iris

  3. Pupil

  4. None of these

A Correct answer
Explanation

The eye consists of a screen called retina which generates the sensation of sight. When light rays are focussed on it, an image is formed on the retina. The retina consists of light sensing cells which send signals to the brain, whenever such images are formed.

Two pont white are 1 mm apart on a black paper. They are viewed by eye of pupil diameter 3 mm. Approximately, what is the maximum distance at which these dots can be resolved by the eye ? [Take wavelength of light = 500 nm]

  1. 5 m

  2. 1 m

  3. 6 m

  4. 3 m

A Correct answer
Explanation

Using Rayleigh's criterion, the angular resolution is theta = 1.22 * lambda / D. With lambda = 500 nm and D = 3 mm, theta = 1.22 * 500e-9 / 0.003 = 2.03e-4 radians. For a separation of 1 mm (0.001 m), the distance L = 0.001 / 2.03e-4, which is approximately 4.92 meters, rounding to 5 meters.

If you read the words of your book, the reflection is

  1. specular reflection

  2. diffused reflection

  3. may be specular may be diffused

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Reading words from a book involves light reflecting off the surface in many directions so that it can be seen from various angles. This scattering of light is known as diffused reflection.

Image formation takes place by

  1. specular reflection

  2. diffused reflection

  3. Both (a) and (b)

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Image formation, such as in a mirror or through a lens, relies on the regular, predictable reflection or refraction of light rays. This is characteristic of specular reflection.

The distance of the eye-lens from the retina is $x$. For a normal eye, the maximum focal length of the eye-lens

  1. $= x$
  2. $< x$
  3. $> x$
  4. $= 2x$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Focal length of normal eye lens is equal to the distance between eye-lens and retina i.e, $x$  so that all rays converges on retina after passing through  eye-lens

The persistence of vision for normal human eye is :

  1. $1/{ 10 }^{ th }$ of a second
  2. $1/{ 16 }^{ th }$ of second
  3. $1/{ 6 }^{ th }$ of a second

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The persistence of vision is the phenomenon where an image remains on the retina for a fraction of a second after the stimulus is removed, typically cited as 1/16th of a second.
