Name the following: Fluid in the eye that fills the space between the lens and cornea.

Read the following paragraph and answer the following questions given below it : Construction of a compound microscope : (i) Acompound microscope consists of a metal tube fitted with two convex lenses at the two ends. These lenses are called the objective lens ( the lens directed towards the object ) and the eyepiece ( the lens directed towards the eye ). Both the lenses are small in size , but the cross section of the objective lens has a short focal length . the focal length of the eyepiece is more than that of the objective lens . (ii) The metal tube is mounted on a stand . thr principal axes of the objective lens and the eyepiece are along the same line . The distance between the object and objective lens can be changed with a screw . It is possible to change the distance between the objective lens and the eyepiece. Working : (i) The object to be observed is illuminated and placed in front of the objective lens. slightly beyond the focal length of the objective lens. it's real , inverted and enlarged image is formed by the objective lens on the other side. (ii) This intermediate image lies with in the focal length of the eyepiece. It serves as an object for the eyepiece. The eyepiece works as a simple microscope . the final image is virtual, highly enlarged and inverted with respect to the original object . It can be formed at the minimum distance of distinct vision from the eyepiece . The final image is observed by keeping the eye close to the eyepiece. Use: This microscope is used to observe blood cells , microorganisms , etc. In a compound microscope , which lens has greater focal length ?

In a biprism experiment, the fringes are observed in the focal plane of the eye piece at a distance of 1.2m from the slits. The distance between the central bright band and 20th bright band is 0.4 cm. When a convex lens is placed between biprism and the eyepiece, the distance between the two vertical magnified images is found to be 0.9 cm. Determine the wavelength of light used.

Select the appropriate option and complete the following paragraph. (cornea, faint, conical, rod, image, coloured, retina, colours, myopic, presbyopic, colour blind) The ____ in our eyes consists of many light sensitive cells. These cells are shaped like a rod and like a cone. The ____ shaped cells give information about the intensity of light to the brain. The ____ cells give information about the colour of the object to the brain. Brain processes all the information received and we see the actual image of the object. Rod shaped cells respond to ___ light also but conical cells do not. Thus we perceive ____ only in bright light. Some people cannot recognize few colours or cannot distinguish between different colours. These persons are said to be _____. Apart from not being able to distinguish between different colours, their eye sight is normal.

In a biprism experiment, the eye piece is kept at a distance of 1.5 m from the slit and the distance of the 2nd dark band from the central point was found to be 1.2 cm. The sizes of the magnified and diminished images of slits produced by the convex lens are found to be 2.4 cm and 60 cm respectively. Calculate the wavelength of light used.

A person can see objects clearly only when they lie between 50cm and 400 cm from his eyes. In order to increase the maximum distance of distinct vision to infinity, the type and power of the correcting lens, the person has to use, will be
