उत्तर

 (i) A long-sighted person who has a near point of 50 cm from the eye cannot clearly see an object kept at a distance of 20 cm. She can see an object only if it is kept at her near point of 50 cm in front of the eye.
(ii) As the person is long-sighted, she cannot see nearby objects, but can see distant objects, clearly. Therefore, she can clearly see the object kept at infinity.

List three common refractive defects of vision. Suggest the way of correcting these defects.


 Which defect of vision can be rectified: 

by using a concave lens?


Name the defect of vision which makes the eye-lens cloudy resulting in blurred vision.


What is the other name of old age hypermetropia?


The near-point of a person suffering from hypermetropia is at 50 cm from his eye. What is the nature and power of the lens needed to correct this defect? (Assume that the near-point of the normal eye is 25 cm).


 A person having short-sight cannot see objects clearly beyond a distance of 1.5 m. What would be the nature and power of the corrective lens to restore proper vision?


 What is long-sightedness? State the two causes of long-sightedness (or hypermetropia). With the help of ray diagrams, show:
(i) the eye-defect long-sightedness.
(ii) correction of long-sightedness by using a lens.


A person cannot see the distant objects clearly (though he can see the nearby objects clearly). He is suffering from the defect of vision called:
(a) cataract
(b) hypermetropia
(c) myopia
(d) presbyopia


The defect of vision in which the eye-lens of a person gets progressively cloudy resulting in blurred vision is called:
(a) myopia
(b) presbyopia
(c) colourblindness
(d) cataract


By closing the eyes and gently pressing them by your palms, you may see some specks of brilliant light. How do you get this sensation while there is no light entering your eyes?


What is Hypermetropia (far sightedness)? 


Why does one feel blinded for a short while on coming out of a dark room?

Anuja cannot see the blackboard writing but she can see nearby things.
(a) What is the eye defect she is suffering from?
(b) State the possible reason for her defect.
(c) How is it corrected


Assertion: Myopia is the defect of vision in which a person cannot see distant objects clearly.

Reason: This due to eye-ball being too short.


Assertion: Concave mirrors are used as reflectors in torches, vehicle head lights and in search lights.

Reason: When an object is placed beyond the center of curvature of a concave mirror, the image formed is real and inverted.


Which of the following statement is correct?


Draw ray diagram showing myopic eye.


A person is unable to see clearly a poster fixed on a distant wall. He however sees it clearly when standing at a distance of about 2 m from the wall.

  1. Draw ray diagram to show the formation of image by his eye lens when he is far away from the wall.
  2. List two possible reasons of this defect of vision.
  3. Draw ray diagram to show the correction of this defect using appropriate lens.

Match the following:

Column - I Column - II
1. Retina a. Path way of light
2. Pupil b. Far point comes closer
3. Ciliary muscles c. near point moves away
4. Myopia d. Screen of the eye
5. Hypermetropia e. Power of accommodation
