Abhi Prajapati answered |
The near point of the eye is the minimum distance of the object from the eye, which can be seen distinctly without strain. For a normal human eye, this distance is 25 cm. The far point of the eye is the maximum distance to which the eye can see the objects clearly. The far point of the normal human eye is infinity.
Stars twinkle due to- a)atmospheric refraction

Stars twinkle due to
a)
atmospheric refraction
b)
atmospheric reflection
c)

d)
dispersion of light
|
Deepika Shah answered |
The twinkling of a star is due to atmospheric refraction of starlight. The starlight, on entering the earth’s atmosphere, undergoes refraction continuously before it reaches the earth. The atmospheric refraction occurs in a medium of gradually changing refractive index. Since the atmosphere bends starlight towards the normal, the apparent position of the star is slightly different from its actual position.

The phenomena due to which white light splits Into seven colours on passing through a prism is called dispersion. Upon passing through a medium, each of the colors travels at different speeds and hence has different angles of refraction leading to the splitting of the light.

Rahul Kapoor answered |
This person suffers from the defect of hypermetropia.
For him u = -30cm, v = -1.5 m = -150cm
Therefore, focal length of corrective lens to be used by him is
1/f = 1/v- 1/u = 1/-150 - 1/-30 = 4/150 = 37.5cm
The positive sign shows that the lens needed is a convex lens of focal length 37.5 cm.
Hence, power of lens needed
P =1/f = 100/37.5 = 2.67D

Anjana Khatri answered |
Far point of the defective eye, v = -80 cm
Object distance, u = -∞ (-infinity)
To find :
Nature and power of the corrective lens.
Solution :
1/v - 1/u = 1/f
1/f = 1/(-80) - 1/(-∞)
1/f = - 1/80 + 0 [Since, 1/-∞ = 0]
1/f = - 1/80
f = -80 cm
Therefore, the corrective lens should be of the focal length 80 cm.
Power, P = 1 / focal length
As focal length is in centimetres, 1 m = 100 cm.
P = 100 / -80
P = -1.25 D
Therefore, the corrective lens is diverging or concave lens of power -1.5 D.

Malavika Basu answered |
Raleigh Scattering of light by the atmosphere is what causes "the sky" to appear blue (and sunsets to appear red), but that "sky" is a colour of the atmosphere. If there is no atmosphere, what colour is it?
Without the atmosphere there is nothing local to act as a (secondary) source of light, so there is no light and we conventionally call objects that emit (little or) no light "black". So the non-object that is "the sky" could be called "black".
If we consider all light from "the heavens" to be the colour of "the sky" then it is clearly not "black". Even with the atmosphere and nasty light pollution from cities, the Milky Way appears rather off-white. With an even grander view of the Universe, we are told it's overall shade is Cosmic Latte, but I would take that with a pinch of salt or, perhaps, a tint of grey when it comes to human perception.
My preferred word for the apparent colour of "the sky" would be transparent rather than "black", but a pedant could argue that "transparent" is not a colour...

Due to this change in speed light bends and travels when passing from one medium to other medium. When the light ray passes from rarer medium to denser medium it bends towards the normal.
Example: Light ray passing from air to glass (Air rarer medium, Glass - denser medium.

The light rays pass through greater thickness of air because of which the light rays from the lower side of the sun are retracted more than those from the upper side. Because of unequal light bending, the sun looks oval and larger.

Nearsighted individuals have image formed in front of the retina. They must correct the problem by wearing a lens which provides for some diverging of light prior to reaching the lens of the eye. This will move the image further from the lens of the eye and back towards the retina.

Headway Institute answered |
The correct option is the eye is not able to decrease the focal length beyond a limit.
A normal eye cannot focus on objects closer than 25 cm away because the eye cannot reduce its focal length any farther since the ciliary muscles are most stretched up to that point.
After that, the muscles are not strained at all. This means that the focal length cannot be smaller.
Therefore, at distances of less than 25 cm, the eye cannot see objects clearly.

Rohan Kapoor answered |
A person suffering from hypermetropia can see distinct objects clearly but faces difficulty in seeing nearby objects clearly. It happens because the eye lens focuses the incoming divergent rays beyond the retina. This defect of vision is corrected by using a convex lens. A convex lens of suitable power converges the incoming light.
The given person will be able to clearly see the object kept at 25 cm (near point of the normal eye), if the image of the object is formed at his near point, which is given as 1 m.
Object distance, u = -25 cm
Image distance, v = -50cm
Focal length, f
Using the lens formula,
1/f = 1/v - 1/u
here u = -25 cm
v = -50cm
substituting & calculating for f, we get
f = +50cm = +0.5 m
Power P = 1/f = +2 D

Amit Sharma answered |
Sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gases and particles in the air. Blue light is scattered in all directions by the tiny molecules of air in Earth's atmosphere. Blue travels as shorter, smaller waves. So as shorter the wavelength, stronger will be the light scattered. Hence, blue light is strongly scattered.

Because the far point of the eye is infinity one explation can be that we can see sun and moon standing on earth .this distance is much much more than focal length of our eye therefore it is considered to be infinity. we know that crystalline lens in our eyes have a power to accommodate focal length but it can't reduce focal length below 25 cm therefore the near point of our eye is 25 cm

To an observer on Earth the stars appear to twinkle. This is due to the fluctuation of physical conditions in the earth’s atmosphere. Each single stream of starlight is refracted and is caused to change direction. This is because the light which passes the different layers of atmosphere differ in temperature and density. This causes the light from the star to twinkle when seen from the ground.

Understanding the Blue Colour of the Sky
The blue colour of the sky is primarily due to a phenomenon known as Rayleigh scattering. Here’s a detailed explanation:
What is Rayleigh Scattering?
- Rayleigh scattering occurs when sunlight interacts with molecules in the Earth’s atmosphere.
- Sunlight, or white light, is composed of multiple colours, each with different wavelengths.
Why is Blue Light Scattered More?
- Blue light has a shorter wavelength compared to other colours like red or yellow.
- When sunlight passes through the atmosphere, the shorter wavelengths (blue) are scattered in all directions more effectively than longer wavelengths (red).
Resulting Effect on the Sky's Colour
- Since blue light is scattered more than other colours, it is the predominant colour that we see when we look up at the sky.
- This scattering causes the direct sunlight to appear less blue and the sky itself to appear predominantly blue.
Conclusion
- Therefore, the correct answer to the question about why the sky is blue is option 'C': blue light is preferentially scattered.
- This concept is fundamental in understanding atmospheric optics and the appearance of the natural environment.
By grasping this principle, one can appreciate the beauty of our sky and the science behind its captivating colour.

In figure (a) base BC of the prism is at the bottom, then violet colour lies at the bottom but in figure (b), the base BC is at the top, then violet would be at the top after dispersion, and third colour would be blue.
