    Subject : Physics
    Assignment 2
    Chapter: Human eye and the colourful world

    1. What happens to the image distance in the eye when we increase the distance of an
    object from the eye?

    2. Why do stars twinkle?


    .
    3. Explain why the planets do not twinkle.

    4. Why does the sun appear reddish early in the morning?

    5. Why does the sky appear dark instead of blue to an astronaut?

    6.(a)What is dispersion of white light? What is the cause of this dispersion? Draw a
    diagram to show the dispersion of white light by a glass prism.
           (b) a glass prism is able to produce a spectrum when white light passes through it but a
    glass slab does not produce any spectrum. Explain why?
