Your Answer :-
13.
- (a) Cones detect color.
- (b) Rods work in dim light.

14. True, the image formed on our retina is upside-down.
_____________________
15. The principal function of the eye-lens is to focus light onto the retina, allowing us to see objects clearly.
_____________________
16. The greatest degree of refraction of light occurs in the cornea.
_____________________
17. The shape of the lens in the eye changes due to the contraction or relaxation of the ciliary muscles.
_____________________
18. The ciliary muscles contract to make the lens thicker when focusing on a nearby object.

19. The least distance of distinct vision for a normal human eye is about 25 cm.
_____________________
20.
- (a) The far point of a normal human eye is infinity.
- (b) The near point of a normal human eye is about 25 cm.
_____________________
21. The range of vision of a normal human eye is approximately 120 degrees horizontally and 90 degrees vertically.
_____________________
22. The part of our eyes that helps us to focus near and distant objects in quick succession is the ciliary muscles and the lens.
_____________________
23. The "power of accommodation" of the human eye refers to its ability to adjust the focal length of the lens in order to focus on objects at varying distances.

24.
- (a) Optic nerve.
- (b) Ciliary muscles.
- (c) Pupil.
- (d) Cornea.
- (e) Lens.

25.
- (a) Most of the refraction of light rays entering the eye occurs at the outer surface of the cornea.
- (b) The part of the eye sensitive to light is the retina.
- (c) The part of the eye which alters the size of the pupil is the iris.
- (d) When light is dim, the pupil becomes dilated.
- (e) The iris controls the amount of light entering the eye.
- (f) The ciliary muscles control the shape of the lens.
- (g) To bring light from a distant object to a focus on the retina of the eye, the convex eye-lens needs to be thinner.
- (h) To bring light from a near object to a focus on the retina of the eye, the convex eye-lens needs to be thicker.
