Topics in The Human Eye and the Colourful World

1

Structure and Function of Human Eye

  • Human eye is like a camera with a lens system that forms images on the retina
  • Cornea: Transparent front layer that does most of the light refraction
  • Iris: Dark muscular diaphragm that controls pupil size and light entry
2

Defects of Vision and Correction

  • Three main defects: Myopia (short-sight), Hypermetropia (long-sight), Presbyopia (age-related)
  • Myopia: Can see near objects clearly but not distant objects, image forms before retina
  • Myopia causes: excessive eye lens curvature or elongated eyeball
3

Refraction Through Prism and Dispersion

  • Prism has triangular cross-section with two refracting surfaces at an angle
  • Light bends towards normal when entering prism (air to glass)
  • Light bends away from normal when leaving prism (glass to air)
4

Rainbow Formation and Natural Phenomena

  • Rainbow forms when sunlight passes through water droplets in atmosphere
  • Water droplets act as tiny prisms causing dispersion of sunlight
  • Process: Refraction → Internal reflection → Refraction again
