Question

Give reasons for the following:

a. We should not see the solar eclipse directly through our unaided eyes.
b. Dark patches are seen on the ground when sunlight passes through dense tree.

Answer 1

• The reason why people are advised not to watch the Solar Eclipse with naked eyes is that when the Moon in direcly between the Earth and the Sun, the rays from the Sun that reach the Earth are more powerful and can permanently damage our retina (most important part of the eye).

• The leaves of the trees obstruct (stop) the rays coming from the sun as there is no sun the soil to will be marshy. in some places where the leaves are not thick the sunlight penetrates to the ground, therefore one mostly sees dark patches on the ground in dense forests.
