Chapter 10: The Human Eye and the Colourful World — Online MCQ Test

Q: The image formed on the retina of the human eye is:

Answer: A. Real and inverted — The eye lens forms a real and inverted image on the retina. The brain interprets this image as erect.

Q: Which part of the eye controls the size of the pupil?

Answer: B. Iris — The iris is a muscular diaphragm that controls the size of the pupil. This regulates the amount of light entering the eye.

Q: A myopic eye has a far point of 50 cm. What lens should be used to correct vision for distant objects?

Answer: A. Concave lens of power -2.0 D — For a distant object, the correcting lens must form a virtual image at the far point, 50 cm from the eye. Thus f = -0.50 m and P = -2.0 D.

Frequently asked questions from Karnataka State Board CLASS 10th SCIENCE — Chapter 10: The Human Eye and the Colourful World, with answers and explanations. These are sample questions; the exam has its own separate question set.

The image formed on the retina of the human eye is:

A. Real and inverted ✓
B. Virtual and erect
C. Real and erect
D. Virtual and inverted

Answer: A. Real and inverted
The eye lens forms a real and inverted image on the retina. The brain interprets this image as erect.

Which part of the eye controls the size of the pupil?

A. Retina
B. Iris ✓
C. Cornea
D. Optic nerve

Answer: B. Iris
The iris is a muscular diaphragm that controls the size of the pupil. This regulates the amount of light entering the eye.

When we enter bright sunlight, the pupil of the eye becomes smaller because:

A. The retina changes its shape
B. The iris contracts the pupil to reduce light entry ✓
C. The cornea becomes opaque
D. The eye lens stops working

Answer: B. The iris contracts the pupil to reduce light entry
In bright light, the iris reduces the size of the pupil. This prevents too much light from entering the eye.

In myopia, a concave lens is used because it:

A. Converges the rays before they enter the eye
B. Diverges the rays so that the image forms on the retina ✓
C. Blocks excess light from entering the eye
D. Increases the size of the pupil

Answer: B. Diverges the rays so that the image forms on the retina
In myopia, distant images are formed in front of the retina. A concave lens diverges incoming rays so that the eye lens focuses them on the retina.

A myopic eye has a far point of 50 cm. What lens should be used to correct vision for distant objects?

A. Concave lens of power -2.0 D ✓
B. Convex lens of power +2.0 D
C. Concave lens of power -0.5 D
D. Convex lens of power +0.5 D

Answer: A. Concave lens of power -2.0 D
For a distant object, the correcting lens must form a virtual image at the far point, 50 cm from the eye. Thus f = -0.50 m and P = -2.0 D.
