MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS :

1. Defect of vision near sightedness also known as

(a) Hypermetropia (b) Myopia

(c) Presbyopia. (d) None of this

2. The focal length of eye does not reduce less than a certain limit (more than normal eye near
point) is known as

(a) Myopia (b) Hypermetropia

(c) Near sightedness (d) Both (a) and (c)

3. The focal length of eye does not increase beyond a limit is known as

(a) Hypermetropia. (b) Far sightedness

(c) Both (a) and (b) (d) Myopia

4. The light enters in our eye through

(a) Pupil. (b) Iris

(c) Corena (d) Retina

5. The lens in our eye is

(a) convex. (b) Concave

(c) Plano convave. (d) Plano convex

6. The eye is not able to see distance which is more than 5meters. Which of the following power
of lens will be good for that eye?

(a) 0.5 D. (b) 0.2D

(c) -0.2D (d) -0.5D

7. Which of the following is considered as a reason for Hypermetropia?

(a) The eye lens is not able to contract. (b) The eye lens becomes thick

(c) The eye lens become thin. (d) Both (a) and (b)

8. What is the cause of presbyopia?

(a) Thickness of eye lens. (b) Thin eye lens

(c) Both (a) and (b). (d) Weakening of Cilliary muscles

9. The visible light having highest wavelength is

(a) Red. (b) Violet

(c) Green (d) Indigo

10. The visible light having lowest wavelength is

(a) Green. (b) Violet

(c) Red. (d) Yellow

ASSERTION-REASON:

11. Assertion: Blind spot is a small area of the retina which is insensitive to light where the optic
nerve leaves the eye.

Reason: There are no rods or cones present at the junction of optic nerve and retina in the eye.

12. Assertion: The near-point of a hypermetropic eye is more than 25 cm away.

Reason: Hypermetropia is corrected using spectacles containing concave lenses.

VERY SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS:

13. How is the amount of light entering into the human eye regulated?

14. The far point of myopic person is 150cm in front of the eye. Calculate the focal length of the
lens.

15. What will be the colour of sky in the absence of atmosphere?

16. What kind of lens will be required to increase the range of vision from 25cm to infinity?

17. Define power of accommodation?

18. Which part of the human eye provides most of the refraction for the light rays entering the
eye?
19. What happens to the image distance in the eye when we increase the distance of an object
from the eye ?

SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS :

20.. Define the following terms and give their values for normal eye:

a) Least distance of least vision

b) Far point of normal human eye

c) Power of accommodation

21. What is myopia? State two reasons due to which this effect is caused?

22. The near point of a person is at 40cm from the eye. Find the power of the lens he should use
while reading at 25cm.

23. Draw a diagram to show formation of image of a distant object by a myopic eye. How can
such an eye defect be remedied?

24. How is cataract caused? How is it cured?

25. What is presbyopia? Write two causes of this defect.

26. What is a prism? Draw a diagram to discuss the refraction of light through a glass prism.

LONG ANSWER QUESTIONS :

27. a) What is hypermetropia? What are the two causes of this defect of vision?

b) How can this defect of the eye be corrected? Illustrate your answer by drawing ray
diagram to show the formation of image by (i) a hypermetropic eye (ii) a hypermetropic eye
corrected with a suitable lens.

28. Describe an experiment to show that different colours of white light can be recombined to
form a white light.

29. a) Define the angle of deviation. What is the cause of dispersion of light ?

b) A Person is able to see objects clearly only when these are lying at distances between
50cm and 300cm from his eye. What kind of defects of vision he is suffering from?

30. a) Name the optical phenomenon involved in the formation of rainbow. Describe the
formation of rainbow in the sky with the help of ray diagram.
