Vision

?
Give some examples of visble of light??
flames, sun and burning candles
1 of 26
Why are thibgs that do not emit light visble??
Light reflects them and bounces off them
2 of 26
Light travels in what kind of lines??
Straight
3 of 26
How can light chnge direction??
By being bent
4 of 26
Light travels at different speeds through differnt materials. True of false??
True
5 of 26
The bending of light is called??
Refraction
6 of 26
What are two material are glasses usually made out off??
Plastic or glass
7 of 26
What kind of surface do glasses have??
Curved
8 of 26
What is another name for Convex lenses??
Converging
9 of 26
What are convex lenses do to light??
Bring rays of light closer
10 of 26
Where are convex lenses are found??
In the eye and are used in cameras
11 of 26
what is a another name for conave lenses??
Diverging
12 of 26
Are concave lenese thinner or thicker in the middle than at the outside
Thinner. Convex lenses are thicker in the middle than they are in the outside
13 of 26
What do concave lenses do light rays??
Refract and bend light inwards-They make light rays spread out
14 of 26
Where is the retnia located and what does it do to light rays??
The retina is located at the back of the eye and refracts the rays of the object
15 of 26
Why does the brain turn the image the right way up??
Because the image is upside down when it enters the cornea
16 of 26
What causes a blurred image image to be formed before the retina??
When some people lens are too stong
17 of 26
What do we call this??
Short sighted
18 of 26
What lense can it be corrected with??
Concave
19 of 26
How does long sighted occur??
Whwn the eye lens is too weak to converge the light
20 of 26
Why does this cause a blurred image??
As the light rays are brought to a focus behind the retina
21 of 26
What lense fixes this eye condition??
Convex
22 of 26
What function does the cornea perform??
It covers the front of the eye and is designed to refract light as it enters the eye
23 of 26
What function does the Pupil perform??
It is a hole in the middle of the Iris and allows light to pass through and enter the eye.
24 of 26
What function does Lens perfrom
It is a see-through disc, like a glasses lens, found just behind the Iris and pupil. It refracts the light onto the retina
25 of 26
What function does the Retina perform
It is placed at the back of the eye and is made up of cells that are sensitive to light and colours, it also triggers electrical impulses that are sent to the brain, by the optic nerve. The retina is made up of cone shaped sensory cells.
