Key Topics to Revise
1
Structure and Function of Human Eye
- Human eye is like a camera with a lens system that forms images on the retina
- Eyeball is approximately spherical with diameter 2.3 cm
- Cornea: Transparent front bulge where most refraction occurs
2
Defects of Vision and Their Correction
- Three main defects: Myopia (near-sightedness), Hypermetropia (far-sightedness), Presbyopia
- Myopia: Can see near objects clearly but not distant objects; far point closer than infinity
- Myopia causes: Excessive eye lens curvature OR elongated eyeball
3
Refraction Through Prism
- Prism has triangular cross-section with two refracting surfaces at an angle
- Light ray bends at both surfaces - towards normal when entering, away when exiting
- Emergent ray is not parallel to incident ray (unlike glass slab)
4
Dispersion of White Light
- White light splits into component colors when passing through prism - called dispersion
- Seven colors in spectrum: VIBGYOR (Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red)
- Different colors bend by different amounts: Violet bends most, Red bends least
