Select the appropriate options and complete the following paragraph. (spectrum, dispersion, grey, green, maximum, minimum, electromagnetic, refraction, optical, intense) Light is an ___ radiation. The process of separation of light into its component colours while passing through a medium is called as of light. The band of coloured components of a sunlight beam is called its ___ Various colours appearing in the spectrum are of the order as violet, indigo, blue, yellow, orange and red. Different colours have different wavelengths which are visible to our eyes i.e., between 400 nm and 700 nm. Red light has ____ wavelength whereas violet light has ____ wavelength.

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.
