Parts of the Eye
The part of the eye controls the amount of light entering?
What is the iris?
A type of light source that emits light as a result of a chemical reaction.
What is chemiluminescence?
The ray that comes from a light source and strikes the surface.
What is the incident ray?
The bending of light when it travels from one medium to another.
Whta is refraction?
This type of lens diverges light rays.
What is a double concave lens?
The part of the eye is responsible for processing visual information?
What is the retina?
The production of light by living organisms
What is bioilluminescence?
The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection
What is the Law of Reflection?
Light bends TOWARD the normal line.
What happens when light moves from one medium to a denser one?
This type of lens converges light rays to form an image.
What is a double convex lens?
The part that maintains the shape of the eye and provides support
What is the vitreous humour?
Light that comes from heat
What is incandescent?
The imaginary line perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence
What is the normal line?
Light bends AWAY from the normal line.
What happens when light moves from one medium to a less dense one?
An optical device that uses a convex lens to gather and focus light.
What is a refracting telescope?
The part of the eye that adjusts the shape of the lens for focusing
What is the ciliary muscles?
Give an example of a non-luminous object.
Answers vary.... Could include (but not limited to) a rock, a desk, or the moon.
The angle between the reflected ray and the normal line.
What is the angle of reflection?
An object that prevents light from passing through it is called this.
What is opaque?
An optical device that uses a concave mirror to gather and focus light.
What is a reflecting telescope?
The part of the eye that transmits visual information from the eye to the brain, allowing us to see
What is the optic nerve?
Light that comes from things that are man-made vs light that comes from a natural source.
What is artificial vs natural light sources?
Draw a Ray Diagram.
Check drawing.
A mirror that makes images appear to be "zoomed out"
What is a convex mirror?
The part of the eye that can cause near-sightedness or far-sightedness.
BONUS: How can you fix this?
What is the lens?
BONUS: Add a double convex lens for farsightedness and a double concave lens for nearsightedness.
