(a) the incident ray
(b) the emergent ray
(c) the angle of deviation.
Q2. State the factors on which the colour of scattered light perceived by us depends.
Q3. When ciliary muscles of a normal eye is in most contracted state. Explain with reason.
Or
If the ciliary muscles of a normal eye are in their
(a) most relaxed state.

ention in brief how focal length and power of eye lens will change in both the cases. Give reason for your answer.
Q4. Name the part of eye where images formed in a normal human eye. State how the image position changes in myopia and hypermetropia.
Q5. A person suffering from an eye – defect uses lenses of power -1D to correct the defect. Name the defect is suffering from and the nature of lens to be used to correct it.
Q6. A person is able to see objects clearly only when these are lying at distances between 50 cm and 300 cm from his eye. Identify the kind of defect of vision he is suffering from. Give reason for your answer.
Q7. Draw a neat diagram to show the refraction of a light ray through a glass prism, and label on it the angle of incidence and angle of deviation.
Q8. What is meant by scattering of light? Use this phenomenon to explain why the clear sky appears blue or the sun appears reddish at sunrise.
