HUMAN EYE
Construction: The eye is nearly spherical in shape having a diameter of about 25mm (1 inch). The
walls of eyeball consists of two major layers. The outer covering is known as sclerotic layer. It is a
tough, opaque white substance. It forms the white of the eye. The front of this coating forms a curved
section known as cornea. The cornea protects the eye and helps in refraction of light. The second layer
also called the inner layer is known as the choroid. It is black to prevent internal reflection and protects
the light - sensitive parts of the eye.

(iii)
(iv)
(v)
Iris: The iris is a coloured diaphargm behind the cornea. A circular aperture in the centre of the iris is
called the pupil. The pupil dilates or contract depending upon the amount of light available.
Eye lens: It is a transparent, crystalline structure made up of many concentric layers. It is kept in its
position by a strong elastic frame called the suspensory ligaments.
The eye -lens helps to divide the eye chamber into two parts. The fornt chamber between the cornea
and the eye-lens is called the anterior chamber and is filled with a fluid called the aqueous humour.
Refractive index of aqueous humour is 1.337. The back chamber between the eye lens and the retina
is called the posterior chamber and is filled with a jelly-like material called the vitreous humour. Refractive index of vitreous humour is also 1.337.
Retina: The inside surface of the rear part of the eyeball where the light entering the eye is focussed is
called retina. The surface of retina consists of about 125 million light - sensitive receptores. These
receptors are of two types rods and cones shapes. When light falls on these receptors, they send
electrical signals to the brain through optic nerve.
Rods and Cones Cells: The cells on the retina are of two shapes : rod-shaped and cone shaped. The
rod cells of our retina respond to the intensity of light. While cone shaped cells respond to colours. It
should be noted that animals may differ from human beings in their colour preception. For example, the
bee has some cone shaped cells in the retina of its eye which enable it to see colours beyond indigo and
violet parts of the spectrum which is called ultraviolet region. We cannot see colours beyond indigo and
violet so we are said to be ultraviolet blind.
Yellow spot: The most sensitive point on the retina is called the yellow spot. It is situated at the centre
of the retina and is lightly raised. It has a little depression called fovea-centralis, which is extermely
sensitive to light. Its function is to form an extermely clear image.
PAGE # 3
SP/Physics/Class-X
(vi)
Blind Spot: The least sensitive point is known as the blind spot. There are no rods and cones at the
point where optic nerves leave the eyeball to go to the brain.
Working of the Eye: The light rays coming from the object kept in front of us enter the pupil of the eye
and fall on the eye lens. The eye-lens is a convex lens, so it converges the light rays and produces a real
and inverted image of the object on the retina. The image formed on the retina is conveyed to the brain
by the optic nerve and gives rise to the sensation of vision.
Near Point and Far Point: There is a limit to the power of accommodation of the eye. A normal eye
can see any object which is at a distance of 25cm to infinity by using its power of accommodation. The
point nearest to the eye at which an object is visible distinctly is called the near point of the eye. The
maximum distance upto which the normal eye can see the things clearly is called the far point of the eye.
It is infinity for a normal eye.
The distance of near point from the eye is known as least distance of distinct vision. The distance
between the near point and the far point is called the range of vision. Thus, for a normal eye, the range
of vision is from 25cm to infinity.
5.3
POWER OF ACCOMMODATION
The human eye in its normal condition, can enable us to see objects from a nearby distance D up to
objects at far off or infinite distance. This becomes possible becaues of the ability of the ciliary
muscles to alter the focal length of the eye lens and thus make it bring into sharp foucs the images of
objects at varying distances right on the retina. We call this ability a power of the eye or its power of
accommodation.
Illustration 1
How does the change in curvature of the eye lens help us to see the distant as well as nearer
objects clearly?
Solution
When we have to see the distant objects, the ciliary musceles relax and thus the eye lens become thin,
making it have a larger focal length. On the other hand, to see the nearby objects, the ciliary muscles
contract thus making the eye lens thicker in the centre. This decreases the focal length of the eye lens,
thus making it possible to see the nearby object clearly.

A person suffering from this defect can see far off objects clearly, but cannot see clearly the objects
situated at a distance of 25 cm or at the least distance of distinct vision.
Causes:
The focal length of eye lens is too large.
Due to some reason, the eye ball becomes smaller in size and hence, the image of the object, situated at
25 cm or at the least distance of distinct vision, is formed behind the retina.
Correction: A long sighted person can see a near object clearly only if it is held at some distance away
from the least distance of distinct vision. This minimum distance from which a person can see clearly is
called the near distance of clear vision. To enable such a person to see from a distance of 25 cm, a lens
must be used, such that it forms the image of the object at the near point of defective eye distance of
clear vision. Generally, the lens used is convex lens of suitable focal length.
Figure 1 shows a defective long sighted eye when the object is situated at the least distance of distinct
vision. In this case, the image is formed behind the retina.
Figure 2 shows a defective long sighted eye when the object is situated at the near point of clear vision
and its image is clearly formed on the retina.

the defective eye.

5.4.3 Presbyopia
It is purely an old age problem due to which the person cannot see near by object clearly. In other
words, Presbyopia is old age hypermetropia.
Cause
In old age, the ciliary mucles become stiff, and hence, they donot contract. This they are unable to make
the crystalline lens thicker, with the result that the focal length of the crystalline lens does not decrease
as desired. Thus, the image of the object situated at the least distance of distinct vision is formed behind
the retina.
Correction : Same as in the case of hypermetropia
Note : Some times a person who already had myopia at younger age, may suffer from presbyopia
at old age. Such persons overcome this by using bifocal lens as shown below:
To rectify long sightedness, glasses fitted with convex lenses are used and for short sightedness, glasses
fitted with concave lenses are used.
5.4.4 Astigmatism
Eye with this defect is unable to see the lines in different axes but at the same distance with same
clarity. It occurs due to irregular curvature of cornea / by birth or arises due to some injury. Horizontal
and vertical lines cant be seen simultaneously with this defective eye. Objects in one direction get well
focussed and in perpendicular direction remain blurred.
Correction: In this case, the spectacles are cylinderical lenses of suitable focal length.
SP/Physics/Class-X
the object is not seen clearly. This defect is known as cataract. There are two methods to remove the
cataract. In the first method cataract is removed by surgery and the patient has to use thick glasses.
Due to it the objects appear larger and field of view is decreased. The second method is modern one in
which an artificial lens is implanted in the patients eye, which is called intraocular lens. After the
removal of cataract the artificial lens is implanted infront of thin membrane. Surgical cut is minimum in
this method, thick glasses are not required and field of view is increased.
Illustration 2
The distance between the eye lens and retina is fixed. Then, how is the eye lens said to have
adjustable focal length.
Solution
As per the lens formula, we have
1 1 1
. In the eye, the distance between the eye lens of retina,
v u f
called image. distance v is fixed. Therefore, eye lens adjusts its focal length f for different object
distances u. Eye lens adjusts its focal length by changing its thickness. To see different distant objects,
the eye lens changes its shape. This is why it is said that the eye lens has adjustable focal length.

Magnifying Power : The ratio of the size of image and object is called the magnifying power. Magnifying power of a simple microscope is given by following formula
When final image is formed at near point distance D :
M = l + D/f
D is the least distance of distinct vision which is 25 cm and f is the focal length of the convex lens.
When final image is formed at infinity
M = D/f
Magnifying power is inversely proportional to the focal length of lens.
The magnifying power of a simple microscope is maximum when the image is formed at the least
distance of distinct vision (D).

Working: AB is an object which is placed in front of the objective at a distance slightly greater than the
focal length of the objective lens. A real, inverted and magnified image AB of the object AB is formed
on the other side of the lens. It acts as the object for the eye piece. The position of eye piece is so
adjusted that AB lies between its focus (Fe) and optical centre (E). A virtual, erect and magnified image
AB of the object AB is formed. It is clear that magnification of the object is achieved by both the
lenses- objective and eye piece.
Hence the final image will be highly magnified.
(A)
Far off objects like planets, stars, aeroplanes etc. appears small and blurred, although being very large in
size, due to their large distance from the eye. The instrument which is used to view these objects clearly
and enlarged, is called telescope.
Telescopes are of two types(A) Astronomical Refracting Telescope
(B) Newtons Reflecting Telescope
Astronomical Refracting Telescope: It is used to view astonomical bodies. An inverted, virtual and
enlarged image is formed by it.
Construction : It consists of a long cylindrical metal tube with a convex lens of large focal length and

large aperture fixed at one end of it. This lens is called objective (O). At the other end of the tube a
smaller tube is fitted which can be moved in or out with the help of rack and pinion arrangement.
A convex lens of small aperture and short focal length is fixed at the outer end of the smaller tube,
which is called eye piece (E).
Working: Image formation of a distant object AB by telescope is shown in Fig. 5.34. A real, inverted
and diminished image AB of the object AB is formed by the lens O on the other side of the lens at the
principal focus Fo. This image acts as the object for the eye piece. The eye piece is so adjusted that the
image AB lies between the principal focus (Fe) and optical centre (E) of the eye piece. An erect image
of AB but virtual, inverted and magnified image of the distant object AB is obtained by the eye piece.

Angle of deviation - The angle between the incident ray and emergent ray is called angle of deviation.
Angle of prism : The angle of a prism or the refracting angle of a prism is the angle between the plane
on which light is incident and the plane from which light emerges.
Angle of incidence - It is the angle that the incident ray makes with the normal to the plane where the
ray first strikes the prism.
Angle of Emergence - It is the angle made between the emergent ray and the normal to the plane from
which the ray emerges out.
Illustration 3
What happens to a light ray that obliquely falls on the transparent side of a prism?
Solution
Light ray is partially reflected and partially refracted at the refracting surface where teh light ray
strikes. The refracted light ray bends towards the base of the prism and finally suffers second refraction
at the opposite surface from where it emerges out of the prism

Try Yourself:
A prism of refractive index 3/2 is placed in water of refractive index 4/3. If the prism angle is 60,
calculate the angle of minimum deviation in water.
A ray of light passes symmetrically through a glass prism (1.5) of angle 60. Calculate angle of
incidence.
This phenomenon due to which a white light spits in its constituent colours, when passed through a prism
is called dispersion.
The reason for above phenomen is that second prism B, turned the dispersed coloured towards its base
through different angles, such that before emerging from it, they were incident at the same point. Thus
they rejoined to form white light.

Formation of rainbow
The suspended tiny droplets of water act as innumerable small prisms. When the sunlight is incident on
the side A of the tiny droplet of water, it gets refracted as well as dispersed. The dispersed rays on
striking the surface B of the tiny water drop suffer total internal reflection, and hence, moves on towards
surface A. At the surface A, the ray further suffer refraction and emerge out in the form of band of
colours in the form of a circular arc along the horizon. The red colour appears on the upper arc of
rainbow and violet colour on the innermost arc.

Considered a right angled isoceles prism ABC , What should be the minimum refractive index of

Solution
Let the ray PQ, be incident normally on face AB.
(i.e. i=0 for face AB)
( r=0)
It will go undeviated along QO
Now, for isosceles A = 90, and B = C= 45
The ray PQO falls at an angle of 45 on face BC :
i1=45 (at face BC)
Now, Cg (Critical angle of glass) = 4148

This is the phenomenon in which light is deflected from its path due its interaction with the particles of
the medium through which it passes . Basically, the scattering process involves the absorption of light by
the molecules followeed by its re-radiation in different directions.
Two types of scatterings:
Elastic or Rayleigh scattering: When the size a of the scattering particles is much smaller than the
wavelength of incident light. The type of scattering is called elastic or Rayleigh scattering. It obeys
Rayleighs law of scattering.
Rayleighs law of scattering: According toe Rayleighs law of scattering, the intensity of light of
wavelength present in the scattered light is inversely proportional to the fourth power of , provided
the size of the scattering particles are much smaller than . Mathematically,]

[For a << ]
4
Thus the scattered intensity is maximum for shorter wavelengths.
Inelastic scattering: When the size of the scattering particles is much greater than the wavelength of
incident light i.e. a >> , then the Rayleighs law of scattering is not valid. The type of scattering is called
inelastic scattering.

Blue colour of Sky: The blue colour of sky is due to scattering of sun light by the molecules of the
1
atmosphere. In this event, rayleighs law of scatterin is valid I 4 because the size of gas molecule
is less than the wavelength of light. So shorter wavelength of light i.e. blue is scattered more dominantly
then the larger wavelength of light i.e. red. As a result sky appears blue.
Colour of sun at sunrise & Sunset: During sunset and sunrise, the sun light travels the maximum
distance through the atmosphere with the increase in distance. The size and number of particles suspended
in air increases. Thus not only the violet indigo or blue, but yellow, orange and red wavelengths of white
light scatter. As the red light scatters last of all and is nearest to the eye, therefore, the sun and the
horizon appear reddish.
However, as the sun rises up the horizon, the distance travelled by sunlight in the atmosphere decreases
and hence, yellow orange or red light are not scatterd. Thus, sky appears blue & the sunlight yellowish.
Red colour of danger signal: The red light has largest wavelength among the spectral colours, and
hence, is least scattered : Thus, red light can easily pass through for mist or smoke without getting
scattered, and hence, is visible from long distance. Thus it is used as universal danger signal.
SP/Physics/Class-X

Thus, blue colour having small wavelength is scattered more and red colour having large wavelength is
scattered less.
Illustration 7
Why does the sky appears dark instead of blue to an astronaut?
Solution
In space no particles are present. Thus, no scattering of light takes place. Hence, the sky appears dark
as light by its own nature is invisible, but produces us the senstation of vision.

Solved Examples
Example 1
A young boy can adjust the power of his eye-lens between 50 D & 60 D. His far point is infinity.
(a) What is the distance of his retina from the eye-lens ?
(b) What is his near point?
Solution
(a) When the eye is fully relaxed, its focal length is largest and the power of the eye, lens is minimum.
This power is 50 D according to the given data. The focal length is 1/50 m = 2cm. As the far point is at
infinity, the parallel rays coming from infinity are focused on the retina in the fully relaxed condition.
Hence, the distance of the retina from the lens equals the focal length which is 2 cm.
(b)
When the eye is focused at the near point, the power is maximum which is 60D. The focal
length in this case is f= 60 m = 5/3 cm. The image is formed on the retina and thus v= 2cm. We have,
