Q10: What are light sensitive cells?
A prism is a transparent refracting medium bounded by two plane surfacesinclined to each other at a certain angle. The refraction of light through a prism follows the laws of refraction. In the prism, refraction takes place on its refracting surface it means when the light enters the prism and when the light leaves the prism. The refraction through a prism is shown. Here, <A is the angle of prism, ∠ i is the angle of incidence of the face AB and ∠e is the
The incident ray suffers a deviation or bending through an angle δ due tothe refraction through prism. This angle is called angle of deviation as shown in figure.
i + e = δ + A
Q1: The angle between the two refracting surfaces of a prism is called
(a) angle of prism
(b) angle of incidence
(c) angle of deviation
(d) angle of emergence
Q2: The angle between the incident ray and the emergent ray is called
(a) angle of emergence
(b) angle of deviation
(c) angle of incidence
(d) none of these
Q3: When a ray is refracted through a prism, then
(a) ∠ ∠δ
(b) ∠ i=∠e+∠δ
(c) ∠δ= ∠e
(d) ∠i > ∠r
Q4: The angle of deviation depends on
(a) refractive index of prism
(b) angle of incidence
(c) both (a) and (b)
(d) none of these
Q1: In a human eye, name the following parts.
i. A thin membrane which allows light to enter into the eye?
ii. The muscles which help in changing the focal length of the eye lens?
Q2: The image formed on retina is inverted but we see the object erect. Why?
Q3: Why danger signals are red?
Q4: Why does sky look blue on a clear day?
Q5: Why do you take time to see objects when you enter a dim lighted room from outside in the sun?
Q6: When white light enters the prism, which colour of light deviates/bends the least and which colour bends the most?
Q1: A person is unable to read a book properly. From which defect is he suffering? How to correct this defect?
Q2: Make a diagram to show how hypermetropia is corrected. The near point of hypermetropic eye is 1 m. What is the power of the lens required to correct this defect? Assume that the near point of normal eye is 25 cm.
Q3: With the help of well labeled diagram, explain the construction and working of human eye.
