2. When white light enters a prism, it gets split into its constituent colours. This is due to ?

Scattering of light

prism material have high density.

different refractive index for different wavelength of each colour

each colours has same velocity in the prism.

Answer: different refractive index for different wavelength of each colour

Explanation:

Dispersion takes place because refractive index of the material of prism is different for different wavelength.


3. The muscular diaphragm that controls the size of the pupil is ?

4. choose the statement which is/ are incorrect ?

The whole purpose of using a convex lens is to reduce the converging power of the eye-lens.

Hypermetropia is that defect of vision due to which a person cannot see the nearby objects clearly.

The near point of a hypermetropic eye is more than 25cm away.

Hypermetropia is corrected by using spectacles containing convex lenses.

Answer: The whole purpose of using a convex lens is to reduce the converging power of the eye-lens.

Explanation:

The whole purpose of using a convex lens is to increase the converging power of the eye-lens. The convex lens used in spectacles increase the converging power of islands and helps in forming the image of a nearby object on the retina of the eye.

Answer: Vary the focal length of the lens

Explanation:

The term ‘accommodation’ as applied to the eye refers to its ability to vary the focal length of the lens.
