To understand what happens to the image distance in the normal human eye when we decrease the distance of an object from 10 m to 1 m, we can break down the explanation into a few clear steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Image Formation in the Eye**: - The human eye functions similarly to a camera. Light rays from an object enter the eye through the cornea and lens, which focus the light onto the retina, forming an image. 2. **Object Distance Change**: ...

The image of an object formed by a mirror is real, inverted and its of magnification -1. If the image is at a distance of 40 cm from the mirror, where is the object placed ? Where would the image be if the object is moved 20 cm towards the mirror? State reason and also draw ray diagram for the new position of the object to justify your answer.

A spherical mirror produces an image of magnification -1, when an object is placed on the principal axis of the mirror at a distance of 40 cm form its pole. (a) Identify the nature of image. (b) Identify the nature of spherical mirror. (c) Find the distance between the object and its image. (d) How will the nature of the image change, if the object is shifted 10 cm towards the mirror ? Draw a ray diagram to justify your answer. [Hint. (a) Image is real, inverted/same size as the object, (b) Concave mirror, (c) Zero, (d) Image will be formed beyond C, It will be larger in size.]

A convex lens produces a real image m times the size of the object. What will be the distance of the object from the lens ?

The ciliary muscles of eye control the curvature of the lens in the eye and hence can alter the effective focal length of the system. When the muscles are fully relaxed, the focal length is maximum. When the muscles are strained, the curvature of lens increases. That means radius of curvature decreases and focal length decreases. For a clear vision, the image must be on the retina. The image distance is therefore fixed for clear vision and it equals the distance of retina from eye lens. It is about 2.5cm for a grown up person. A perosn can theoretically have clear vision of an object situated at any large distance from the eye. The smallest distance at which a person can clearly see is related to minimum possible focal length. The ciliary muscles are most strained in this position. For an average grown up person, minimum distance of the object should be around 25cm. A person suffering from eye defects uses spectacles (eye glass). The function of lens of spectacles is to form the image of the objects within the range in which the person can see clearly. The image o the spectacle lens becomes object for the eye lens and whose image is formed on the retina. The number of spectacle lens used for th eremedy of eye defect is decided by the power fo the lens required and the number of spectacle lens is equal to the numerical value of the power of lens with sign. For example, if power of the lens required is +3D (converging lens of focal length 100//3cm ), then number of lens will be +3 . For all the calculations required, you can use the lens formula and lensmaker's formula. Assume that the eye lens is equiconvex lens. Neglect the distance between the eye lens and the spectacle lens. Q. A person can see objects clearly from distance 10cm to oo . Then, we can say that the person is

If the image formed by a mirror for all positions of the object in front of it is always erect diminished, what type of mirror is it? Draw a ray diagram to justify your answer . Where and why do we generally use this type of mirror?

It is desired to obtain an erect image of an object, using concave mirror of focal length of 12 cm. (i) What should be the range of distance of an object placed in front of mirror ? (ii) Will the image be smaller or large than the object ? Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of image in this case. (iii) Where will the image of this object be, if it is placed 24 cm in front of the mirror ? Draw a ray diagram for this situation also to justify your answer. Show the positions of the pole, the principal focus and the centre of curvature in the above ray diagrams.
