- In Check-point 1, you can see that we are able to distinguish between all the pairs of objects by our eyes.

- About 80% of the information that we receive from the environment is obtained through it.

=>=> The eye is the most importantmost important sense organ in our body.

p.68Qp.68QThe Eye The Eye

- We have a pair of eyes.

- Each eye is held and protected in the orbit of the skull.

- Each eye is held by eye muscles.

- Eye muscle allows the eyeball to move up and down, left and right and in a circular way.

The part of eye we can see is about 1/5 of total surface area of eyeball.

If the the holehole of pinhole camera of pinhole camera is is too large, what happens to the image formed on the screen?

=> Overlap => Overlap withwith each other

- If the hole is too large:

=> => Rays passing into the camera through the hole increase

=> => Form many images of candle on the screen

=> => Form brighter but more blurred images

- Convex lens can converge lights.

If we put a convex lens in front of the hole, the image will be brighter and clearer.

p.73p.73Our eyes can see the distant object (flying bird up in the sky) and the near object (a flower) clearly.

Colours are formed by mixing of three primary colours: red, green and blue in different proportions.

Screens Screens of TV TV can showcan show various coloursvarious colours..This depends on mixing of three primary colours of light in different proportions.

- The brain interprets messages from cones and forms coloured images.

A bull has no cones on its retina, therefore it cannot see any colour at all.
