Questions Related to the human eye and the colourful world

CV Raman got the Nobel Prize for his experiment on :

physics the human eye and the colourful world scattering of light and its applications some natural phenomena of light effects of light

  1. Dispersion of Light

  2. Reflection of Light

  3. Deflection of Light

  4. Scattering of Light

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

C. V. Raman got noble prize for his free, transparent sample of a chemical compound, a small fraction of the light emerges in directions other than that of the incident (incoming) beam. Here it is all about scattering of light.

Sclera is a grey-white membrane, which darkens the eye ball from inside.

physics the human eye and the colourful world human eye and its working what is inside our eyes? human eye and defects of vision

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sclera is the white membrane which lines the eyeball. It is the supporting wall of the eye and acts as a protective coating. It is seen in contrast with the iris.

Cilliary muscles in the eye:

  1. hold the eye lens in place

  2. increase or decrease focal length of eye lens.

  3. both (a) and (b)

  4. none of these

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When the ciliary muscle is relaxed, the choroid acts like a spring pulling on the lens via the zonule fibers causing the lens to become flat. When the ciliary muscle contracts, it stretches the choroid, releasing the tension on the lens and the lens becomes thicker. Cilliary muscles in the eye increase or decrease focal length of eye lens.

The nature of image formed on the retina of human eye is:

physics the human eye and the colourful world human eye and its working what is inside our eyes? human eye and defects of vision

  1. virtual and erect

  2. virtual and inverted

  3. real and erect

  4. real and inverted

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Human eye lens are convex in nature and form real and inverted images and when the object is kept before the focus point and the centre of the lens it form virtual and erect images. The image formed on retina are real and inverted and further the message sent by the optic nerve are chemical impulses to the brain, which turn them into erect images that we see with our eyes.

Which of the following statements about human eye is NOT true?

physics the human eye and the colourful world human eye and its working what is inside our eyes? human eye and defects of vision

  1. the iris gives a distinct colour to the eye

  2. the yellow spot is extremely sensitive to light

  3. the space between lens and cornea is filled with ciliary muscles

  4. the optic nerves enters the eye near the blind spot

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:


The space between the cornea and the lens is called the aqueous chamber and filled with thin watery transparent viscous fluid called aqueous humor which supplies nutrients to these structures as well as to the lens. Aqueous humour is produced by the ciliary processes in the posterior chamber and flows into the anterior chamber through the pupil.

The cornea gives the colour of the eye.

physics the human eye and the colourful world human eye and its working what is inside our eyes? human eye and defects of vision

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The iris gives eyes their color, depending on how much melanin it contains, similar to the pigment found in skin. Also helping to determine color is the iris's front layer, or stroma, which contains melanocyte cells that produce melanin, and fibers that scatter the light reflected outward.
Hence, the statement is false.

The impression of an image does not vanish immediately from the retina. It persists there for about $1/6^{th}$ of a second.

physics the human eye and the colourful world human eye and its working what is inside our eyes? human eye and defects of vision

  1. True

  2. False

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

It is known as persistent of vision which is the time for which an image persists in our retina.

There is a pattern observed in the number of sum spots appearing every year called as

physics the human eye and the colourful world human eye and its working what is inside our eyes? human eye and defects of vision

  1. solar cycle

  2. sun spot cycle

  3. solar period

  4. solar spot cycle

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sun spot cycle is a pattern observed in number of sun spots appearing every year due to revolution of earth arround sun with moon revolving earth.

The eye lens contains a watery liquid called the :

physics the human eye and the colourful world human eye and its working what is inside our eyes? human eye and defects of vision

  1. aqueous humour

  2. peroxide

  3. vitreous humour

  4. magic water

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Aqueous humor is low concentration protien liquid in eye lens.

lens of an eye is a transparent spherical structure which :

physics the human eye and the colourful world human eye and its working what is inside our eyes? human eye and defects of vision

  1. reflects light

  2. scatters light

  3. refracts light

  4. diffracts light

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The lens is a transparent structure behind the iris, the coloured part of the eye. The lens bends light rays so that they form a clear image at the back of the eye – on the retina. As the lens is elastic, it can change shape, getting fatter to focus close objects and thinner for distant objects.
