Question
How are we able to see nearby and also the distant objects clearly?
✓

Answer

Human eyes have power of accommodation. When we have to see distant objects, the eye muscles relax and lens becomes thin. Due to this, the focal length of the lens increases and the eye is able to see distant objects. When we have to see nearby objects, the eye muscles contract and lens becomes thick. Due to this, the focal length of the lens decreases and the eye is able to see nearby objects.

To construct a ray diagram we use two rays of light which are so chosen that it is easy to determine their directions after reflection from the mirror. Choose these two rays and state the path of these rays after reflection from a concave mirror. Use these two rays to find the nature and position of the image of an object placed at a distance of 15cm from a concave mirror of focal length 10cm.
