The light-sensitive screen at the back of the human eye, on which a real and inverted image is formed and which converts light into electric signals, is called what?

AThe cornea
BThe iris
CThe retina
DThe pupil
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. The retina
1. The eye lens forms a real, inverted image on a light-sensitive screen at the back of the eye. 2. This screen is the retina, whose cells generate electric signals sent via the optic nerve. 3. The iris and pupil control light entry, not image formation, so they are ruled out. _Source: Balbharati (Maharashtra Board) Class 10 Science & Technology, Ch 7 "Lenses", p.95_
