Class 10 Science Chapter 11 Human Eye and Colourful World
\ HUMAN EYE AND COLOURFUL WORLD
Power of accommodation:
* Ability of the eye lens to adjust its focal length.
* Relaxation of ciliary muscles → lens becomes thin → increase in focal length.
* Contraction of ciliary muscles → lens becomes thick → focal length decreases.
Near Point (N): The point at closest distance, at which an object can be seen clearly by the eye is called Near Point (N) of the eye. The distance of the near point of a normal eye is called the least distance of distinct vision. It is represented by d. For a normal eye, value of least distance of distinct vision is d=25cm.
Far Point (F): The most distant point at which an object can be seen clearly is called Far Point (F) of the eye. For a normal eye, far point lies at infinity.
Rods: Respond to the intensity of light and enable vision in dim light.
Myopia or Near-sightedness:
* Eye cannot see distant objects clearly.
* Image of distant object forms in front of retina.
* Reasons: (i) Excessive curvature of eye lens.
(ii) Elongation of eyeball
Correction: using concave lens
Hypermetropia or Far-sightedness:
* Eye cannot see nearby objects clearly.
* Image of object nearby forms behind retina.
* Reasons: (i) Focal length of eye lens is too long.
(ii) Eyeball becomes small Correction using convex lens
Presbyopia:
* Eye suffers from myopia as well as from hypermetropia.
* Due to gradual weakening of ciliary muscles and diminishing flexibility of eye lens. Correction using bifocal lens
Cataract: Milkiness of eye lens due to aging can be cured by surgery
Dispersion of Light:
Splitting of light into its component colours.
White light disperses into its seven-colour components in the order VIBGYOR (violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, And Red). Red light bends least, Violet the most.
Rainbowisformed due to refraction, dispersion and total internal reflectionof sunlight by tiny droplets of water
Atmospheric Refraction: Refraction of light by the earth‟s atmosphere Twinkling of stars, Advanced sunrise, Delayed sunset, Flattening of disc of sun at sunrise and sunset are due to atmospheric refraction
Tyndall effect:
* When a beam of light strikes fine particles in air, path of the beam becomes visible.
* Very fine particles scatter mainly blue light while particles of larger size scatter light of longer wavelengths
DEFECTS OF VISION

(d) A, B and C
Answer: D
very short answer questions
1. What is the far point and near point of the human eye with normal vision?
Answer: For normal vision, the near point is about 25cm and far point is infinity. Thus, a normal eye can see objects clearly that are between 25cm and infinity.
2. List the three phenomenon of light which is responsible for formation of rainbow in sky?
Answer: Refraction, dispersion and total internal reflection.
3. Why are „danger‟ signal lights red in colour?
Answer: Danger signals are red in colour because the red coloured light having lower wavelength is scattered the least by fog or smoke. Therefore, it can be seen clearly from a distance.
4. Give reasons why the planets do not twinkle Planets are much closer to the earth as compared to the stars they are bigger when we observe them from earth. Planets are made up of large number of point sources. Due to atmospheric refraction each point source will appear to twinkle, the total effect will be nullified.
1.A person needs a lens of power 4.5 D for correction of her vision.
(a) What kind of defect in vision is she suffering from?
(b) What is the focal length of the corrective lens?
(c) What is the nature of the corrective lens?
Answer: (a)Hypermetropia. (b) f=1/4.5 = 0.22m (c) Convex lens
VALUE BASED QUESTION
Dolly and Ritu are two friends studying together in V grade. They prefer to sit together. Dolly is uncomfortable reading the blackboard when they are sitting on the last bench. Dolly is depressed fearing that she may turn blind one day. Ritu explains her that the problem may be due to some minor eye defect and there is no cause for worry. Dolly accompanied by Ritu visits the doctor who prescribes spectacles of suitable power for her. Dolly is now all smiles and thanks Ritu.
Read the above passage and answer the following questions:
(i) What values are displayed by Ritu ?
(ii) Name the defect of eye Dolly is suffering from.
(iii) What could be the cause of this defect?
(iv) The far point of Dolly is 50cm. What is the power of the lens she should use to read from the blackboard?
Answer: (i) Ritu has displayed concern for her friend. She is helpful
ii) Dolly is suffering from myopia or short sightedness.
(iii) Two possible causes of this effect are: Increase in size of eye ball or decrease in focal length of eye lens.
(iv) Here, x=50cm f=-50cm p=100/f=100/-50=-2D
Long answer type questions
1. Explain myopia and hypermetropia with the help of ray diagrams and show how these defects can be corrected?
Answer: (a) Explanationof Myopia and Hypermetropia
(b) Fig.11.2&11.3NCERT TEXTBOOK
(c) The type of lens: Concave lens, convex lens
2. What is meant by dispersion and recombination? Explain with the help of a diagram? What is a spectrum? Name the various colours of spectrum of white light in proper sequence.
Answer: The splitting of white light into its component colours on passing through a prism is called dispersion. When an inverted prism is kept in the path of these seven colours, they combine to form white light. This is called recombination.The band of seven colours formed due to dispersion of white light is called „spectrum‟. Seven colours of spectrum are violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red also known as „VIBGYOR‟
