The human eye forms the image of an object at its

Detailed Solution for Unit Test: Human Eye and the Colourful World - Question 1

The retina is the inner back portion of the eye. It is composed of an enormous number of light-sensitive cells.
The lens forms an image of the visual world on the retina through the cornea.
Light-sensitive cells of the retina get activated upon illumination and generate electric signals.
Optic nerves send these electric signals to the brain, where these signals finally processed and interpreted to see an object as they are.

Unit Test: Human Eye and the Colourful World - Question 2

The light coming from an object enters the eye through:

Detailed Solution for Unit Test: Human Eye and the Colourful World - Question 2

Light enters the eye through the cornea and from the cornea, the light passes through the pupil.
The iris, or the colored part of your eye, controls the amount of light passing through. From there, it then hits the lens.

Detailed Solution for Unit Test: Human Eye and the Colourful World - Question 6

Changes in the contraction of the ciliary muscles alter the focal distance of the eye, causing nearer or future images to come into focus on the retina; this process is known as accommodation.

Unit Test: Human Eye and the Colourful World - Question 8

The focal length of the eye lens increases when eye muscles

Detailed Solution for Unit Test: Human Eye and the Colourful World - Question 8

Unit Test: Human Eye and the Colourful World - Question 9

Electric nerve impulses from the retina to brain are conveyed by

Detailed Solution for Unit Test: Human Eye and the Colourful World - Question 9
  • The lens in turn focuses the light rays onto the retina, lining the back of the eye.
  • The retina converts the image formed by the light rays into nerve impulses.
  • The optic nerve, composed of the axons of the retina's ganglion cells, then transmits these impulses from the eye to the first visual relay in the brain.
Unit Test: Human Eye and the Colourful World - Question 10

The combination responsible for admitting different amounts of light into eye is

Detailed Solution for Unit Test: Human Eye and the Colourful World - Question 10
