SMT #1: Lens Terminologies, and The Human Eye

I. Identification: Identify the word or group of words described in each statement. Write your answer
on the space provided before the number.
________________ 1. It refers to the distance between the center of a lens and the focal point.
________________ 2. It refers to the curvature of a lens that causes parallel light rays to converge
to a point.
________________ 3. It is the transparent, curved layer at the front of the eye that helps to focus
incoming light.
________________ 4. It is the colored part of the eye that regulates the amount of light entering the
eye.
________________ 5. It refers to the jelly-like substance that fills the main chamber of the eye
behind the lens.
________________ 6. It refers to the photoreceptor cells in the retina that are responsible for color
vision.
________________ 7. It is the part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed central vision.
________________ 8. It refers to the tough, white outer layer of the eye that gives it its shape and
protection.
________________ 9. It is the opening in the center of the iris that allows light to enter the eye.
________________ 10. What type of image is formed when light rays from an object converge and
cross over on the same side of the lens?
________________ 11. What type of image is formed by a diverging lens?
________________ 12. What lens forms an image that is upright and virtual?
________________ 13. It refers to the distance between the lens and the object being imaged.
________________ 14. What type of image is formed when light rays from an object converge and
cross over on opposite sides of the lens?
________________ 15. It refers to a type of lens that forms an image that is inverted and real.

II. True or False: Write TRUE if the statement is correct; and FALSE if the statement is
incorrect. Write your answers in the space provided before the number.
________________ 16. The focal length of a lens affects the size of the image formed.
________________ 17. The image formed by a converging lens is always inverted.
________________ 18. The size of the image formed by a lens is determined solely by the size of
the object being imaged.
________________ 19. A virtual image can be projected onto a screen.
________________ 20. The image formed by a diverging lens is always virtual.
________________ 21. A converging lens can form both real and virtual images.
 ________________ 22. The distance between the lens and the object affects the size of the image
formed.
________________ 23. A concave lens always forms a virtual image.
________________ 24. A magnifying glass is an example of a diverging lens.
________________ 25. The distance between the lens and the screen affects the size of the image
formed.
________________ 26. The human eye can distinguish about 10 million different colors.
________________ 27. The retina is located at the front of the eye.
________________ 28. The iris controls the amount of light entering the eye.
________________ 29. The cornea is the part of the eye that focuses light onto the retina.
________________ 30. The lens of the eye changes shape to focus on objects at different distances.
________________ 31. The optic nerve sends visual information from the eye to the brain.
________________ 32. The human eye has six muscles that control eye movement.
________________ 33. The blind spot is located in the center of the visual field.
________________ 34. The pupil dilates in response to bright light.
________________ 35. The human eye is the same size at birth as it is in adulthood

III. Labelling: Label the parts of the eye.
