Sclera is a grey-white membrane, which darkens the eye ball from inside.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sclera is the white membrane which lines the eyeball. It is the supporting wall of the eye and acts as a protective coating. It is seen in contrast with the iris.

Cilliary muscles in the eye:

  1. hold the eye lens in place

  2. increase or decrease focal length of eye lens.

  3. both (a) and (b)

  4. none of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

When the ciliary muscle is relaxed, the choroid acts like a spring pulling on the lens via the zonule fibers causing the lens to become flat. When the ciliary muscle contracts, it stretches the choroid, releasing the tension on the lens and the lens becomes thicker. Cilliary muscles in the eye increase or decrease focal length of eye lens.

The nature of image formed on the retina of human eye is:

  1. virtual and erect

  2. virtual and inverted

  3. real and erect

  4. real and inverted


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Human eye lens are convex in nature and form real and inverted images and when the object is kept before the focus point and the centre of the lens it form virtual and erect images. The image formed on retina are real and inverted and further the message sent by the optic nerve are chemical impulses to the brain, which turn them into erect images that we see with our eyes.

Which of the following statements about human eye is NOT true?

  1. the iris gives a distinct colour to the eye

  2. the yellow spot is extremely sensitive to light

  3. the space between lens and cornea is filled with ciliary muscles

  4. the optic nerves enters the eye near the blind spot


Correct Option: C
Explanation:


The space between the cornea and the lens is called the aqueous chamber and filled with thin watery transparent viscous fluid called aqueous humor which supplies nutrients to these structures as well as to the lens. Aqueous humour is produced by the ciliary processes in the posterior chamber and flows into the anterior chamber through the pupil.

The cornea gives the colour of the eye.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The iris gives eyes their color, depending on how much melanin it contains, similar to the pigment found in skin. Also helping to determine color is the iris's front layer, or stroma, which contains melanocyte cells that produce melanin, and fibers that scatter the light reflected outward.
Hence, the statement is false.

Which of the following optical phenomena is used in cinematography or movie projectors?

  1. Accomodation

  2. Persistence of vision

  3. Long sightedness

  4. Short sightedness


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Persistence of Vision is used in cinematography or movie projectors. Persistence of vision works because the human eye and brain can only process 10 to 12 separate images per second, retaining an image for up to a sixteenth of a second. If a subsequent image replaces it in this period of time it will create the illusion of continuity. Animation works by using an optical illusion. By presenting a sequence of still images in quick enough succession, the viewer interprets them as a continuous moving image. This is the same principle that enables live action film making and projection to work. Film theorists often refer to this illusion of movement as the persistence of vision.

  2. 1/120th of a second

  3. 1/16th of a second

  4. 1/200th of a second


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

According to Persistence of Vision theory, the human eye has the illusion of an after image still persisting. It is when our eye has the ability to persist for 1/16 of a second after the image has removed. It is used in animation to show fluent movement, normally after every two frames one picture would be shown, so for every 24 frames 12 pictures will be shown. This gives us the illusion of movement and the afterimage persists on our retina. 

Which of the following is Not an advantage of having two eyes?

  1. It gives a wider field view.

  2. The ability to detect faint objects is enhanced with two detectors instead of one.

  3. It gives the ability to interpret the closeness of an object.

  4. It gives the eye higher protection from dust and pollution.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

There are several advantages of our having two eyes instead of one.
(i) It gives a wider field view because human being has a horizontal field view of about 150150∘ with one eye and of about 180180∘with two eyes.
(ii) The ability to detect faint objects is enhanced with two detectors instead of one.
(iii) With one eye, the world looks flat, i.e., two dimensional-only. With two eyes, the view is three dimensional.
As our two eyes are separated by a few centimeters each eye observes a slightly different image. Our brain combines the two views into one and we get to know how close or far away the things observed are.

What is the name of the circular aperture through which light enters the eye ?

  1. Iris

  2. Pupil

  3. Cornea

  4. Optic Nerve


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Correct answer ( B )

Circular aperture through which light enters the eye is known as pupil.It is the black circle in the center of the iris, when the light reaches the tissues at the back of the eye, it is absorbed making the pupil look black. The pupil controls the amount of light that enters the eye.

The change in focal length of an eye lens in human eye is caused by the action of the:

  1. Pupil

  2. Retina

  3. Ciliary muscles

  4. Iris


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The ciliary muscle is located in the eye and surrounds the lens. It contracts or relaxes in order for an individual to see at multiple distances. When it contracts, it pulls forward, moving to a frontal portion to relax the fibers that hold the lens in place; this process also allows it to take on a more spherical shape to provide short range focus.

Hence, ciliary muscles changes the focal length of eye lens.

  4. Enlarged and real

  5. Larger than the object


Correct Option: C

Match the following

i. Cornea a. Back surface of eye where image is formed
ii. Pupil b. Coloured part of eye
iii. Retina c. Membrane that refracts light and protects the eye
iv. Iris d. Transparent opening of eye.Light passes through it

 

  1. i-c ,ii-d,iii-a,iv-b

  2. i-a,ii-c,iii-b,iv-d

  3. i-d,ii-a,iii-b,iv-c

  4. i-b,ii-c,iii-d,iv-a


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Cornea is protective layer,it is transparent in nature. 

Pupil is the transparent opening of the eye. It lets light to pass through it.
Iris is responsible for characteristic colour of the eye.
Retina is the image forming screen of the eye.

Match the columns

i. amount of light entering into eye controlled by a. rodes 
ii. colour sensing cells  b. cones
iii.cells helping in vision in dim light c. iris
iv. junction of optic nerve and retina  d. blindspot
  1. i-a,ii-b,iii-c,iv-d

  2. i-d,ii-c,iii-b-iv-a

  3. i-c,ii-b,iii-a,iv-d

  4. i-b,ii-a,iii-c,iv-b


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Iris controls the amount of light entering the eye.
Cones are colour sensing cells.
Rode cells help in vision in dim light.
At the junction of optic nerve and retina  there are no rodes and cones.No image is formed at this point as it is insensitive to light.This point is called blind spot.

The size of an object as perceived by an eye depends primarily on _____ .

  1. Actual size of the object

  2. Distance of the object from the eye

  3. Aperture of the pupil

  4. Size of the image formed on the retina


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Size of the object perceived by an eye depends primarily on distance of object from eye or eye lens. As magnification is given by:

$M=\dfrac{image\  distance}{object\  distance}$

What kind of lens is there in our eyes? 

  1. concave

  2. convex

  3. Plano-concave

  4. Plano-convex


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Answer is B.
Our eye lenses are convex lenses with variable focal lengths. The focal length of the eye lens is controlled by muscles according to the distance of the object from us that we are trying to see. The lens is flexible and when it is acted on by the ciliary muscle around it, the lens can be "flattened" to change the focus, or, when the muscle is relaxed, the lens can be assumed as having a more spherical shape. This is the principle of the eye to focus on objects nearer or farther away.

The retina is a delicate spot that receives images through the eye lens and makes us see the world. If it gets detatched, it is very difficult to join it back. Therefore, eye surgeons use

  1. Laser-beams for welding the retina

  2. Sound waves for joining

  3. Micro-knives for surgery

  4. Ultraviolet rays for surgery


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Laser surgery around retinal tear is often able to weld the retina to the underlying eyewall. This can prevented or limit retinal detachment.

Therefore Ane$\rightarrow$ Laser beams are used by the eye. Surgeons for welding the retina
