Question
When objects at different distances are seen by the eye, which of the following remain constant?
Options

The object-distance from the eye-lens.
The radii of curvature of the eye-lens.
The image-distance from the eye-lens.

Solution
The image distance from the eye lens
In the human eye, the image is formed on the retina, which is at a fixed distance from the eye lens.

For a normal eye, the far point is at infinity and the near point of distinct vision is about 25cm in front of the eye. The cornea of the eye provides a converging power of about 40 dioptres, and the least converging power of the eye-lens behind the cornea is about 20 dioptres. From this rough data estimate the range of accommodation (i.e., the range of converging power of the eye-lens) of a normal eye.
Does short-sightedness (myopia) or long-sightedness (hypermetropia) imply necessarily that the eye has partially lost its ability of accommodation? If not, what might cause these defects of vision?
A myopic person has been using spectacles of power −1.0 dioptre for distant vision. During old age, he also needs to use the separate reading glass of power + 2.0 dioptres. Explain what may have happened.
A person looking at a person wearing a shirt with a pattern comprising vertical and horizontal lines is able to see the vertical lines more distinctly than the horizontal ones. What is this defect due to? How is such a defect of vision corrected?
In viewing through a magnifying glass, one usually positions one’s eyes very close to the lens. Does angular magnification change if the eye is moved back?
The muscles of a normal eye are least strained when the eye is focussed on an object
A person A can clearly see objects between 25 cm and 200 cm. Which of the following may represent the range of clear vision for a person B having muscles stronger than A, but all other parameters of eye identical to that of A?
The focal length of a normal eye-lens is about
When we see an object, the image formed on the retina is
(a) real
(b) virtual
(c) erect
(d) inverted
Mark the correct options.
(a) If the far point goes ahead, the power of the divergent lens should be reduced.
(b) If the near point goes ahead, the power of the convergent lens should be reduced.
(c) If the far point is 1 m away from the eye, divergent lens should be used.
(d) If the near point is 1 m away from the eye, divergent lens should be used.
A person looks at different trees in an open space with the following details. Arrange the trees in decreasing order of their apparent sizes.
| Tree | Height(m) | Distance from the eye(m) |
| A | 2.0 | 50 |
| B | 2.5 | 80 |
| C | 1.8 | 70 |
| D | 2.8 | 100 |
Can virtual image be formed on the retina in a seeing process?
A normal eye has retina 2 cm behind the eye-lens. What is the power of the eye-lens when the eye is (a) fully relaxed, (b) most strained?
A nearsighted person cannot see beyond 25 cm. Assuming that the separation of the glass from the eye is 1 cm, find the power of lens needed to see distant objects.
A myopic adult has a far point at 0.1 m. His power of accomodation is 4 diopters.
- What power lenses are required to see distant objects?
- What is his near point without glasses?
- What is his near point with glasses? (Take the image distance from the lens of the eye to the retina to be 2 cm.)
