Question

Assertion (A): The image formed on the retina is straight and real. 

Reason (R): Images from the retina are transmitted to the brain through the optic nerve. Then brain interprets it in an upright position. Both the eyes form two images but the brain interprets them as one due to the overlapping of the images.

1. A is True and R is False.
2. A is False and R is True.
3. Both A and R are True.
4. Both A and R are False.

Options

• (1)

• (2)

• (3)

• (4)

Answer 1

(2)

Explanation:

The image formed on the retina is real and inverted, not straight. Therefore, the Assertion (A) is false.

The image signals from the retina are transmitted to the brain through the optic nerve, and the brain interprets the image in an upright position. Although both eyes form separate images, the brain combines them into a single image. Therefore, the Reason (R) is true.

Hence, A is false and R is true.
