Page 1: Introduction
The human eye works like a camera.
Chapter covers structure, defects, correction, dispersion, scattering, atmospheric phenomena.
High weightage — diagram-based questions common.
Page 2: Structure of Human Eye
Cornea → aqueous humour → pupil → lens → vitreous humour → retina → optic nerve.
Ciliary muscles change lens curvature.
Retina: image formed, rods/cones.
Page 3: Power of Accommodation
Ability to focus near and distant objects.
Near point: 25 cm (normal)
Far point: infinity
Least distance of distinct vision: 25 cm
Page 4: Defects of Vision - Myopia
Near-sightedness: distant objects blurred.
Causes: elongated eyeball or excessive lens curvature.
Image formed in front of retina.
Correction: concave lens.
Page 5: Hypermetropia
Far-sightedness: near objects blurred.
Causes: shortened eyeball or reduced lens curvature.
Image formed behind retina.
Correction: convex lens.
Page 6: Presbyopia
Age-related, loss of accommodation.
Ciliary muscles weaken.
Correction: bifocal lenses.
Page 7: Dispersion of Light
Splitting of white light into colours (VIBGYOR).
Prism: red least deviated, violet most.
Recombination → white light.
Page 8: Atmospheric Refraction
Light bends due to varying air density.
Twinkling of stars: fluctuating refraction.
Planets don't twinkle (larger).
Page 9: Advance Sunrise and Delayed Sunset
Sun visible 2 minutes before/after due to refraction.
Page 10: Scattering of Light
Tyndall effect.
Blue sky: shorter wavelength scattered more.
Red sunset: blue scattered away, red reaches.
Danger signals red.
Page 11: Rainbow
Primary: dispersion + internal reflection + refraction in raindrops.
Secondary: two internal reflections, inverted.
