Worked practice questions

The transparent front layer of the human eye is called the:

  1. Lens
  2. Retina
  3. Iris
  4. Cornea
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Cornea

1. The cornea is the curved transparent membrane at the front of the eye. 2. Most of the eye's refraction takes place at the cornea. 3. Retina is the light-sensitive back of the eye. 4. So the front transparent layer is the cornea. _Source: syllabus Science Ch 11 'Human Eye and the Colourful World'_

The image of an object is formed on the:

  1. Retina
  2. Pupil
  3. Cornea
  4. Iris
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Retina

1. Light entering the eye is focused by the cornea and lens. 2. The focused image lands on the retina at the back of the eye. 3. The retina contains photoreceptors (rods and cones). 4. So the image forms on the retina. _Source: syllabus Science Ch 11 'Human Eye and the Colourful World'_

The least distance of distinct vision for a healthy adult human eye is about:

  1. 10 cm
  2. 25 cm
  3. 50 cm
  4. 100 cm
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. 25 cm

1. The least distance of distinct vision is the closest distance at which a healthy eye can see clearly. 2. For an average healthy adult this is about 25 cm. 3. Children can usually focus closer than adults. 4. So the standard answer is 25 cm. _Source: syllabus Science Ch 11 'Human Eye and the Colourful World'_
