Match the following statements with correct terms associated with it.
A) Light makes tiny particles visible due to scattering.
B) The effect of seeing an object is retained by the eye for 116th of a second.
C) Composite light splits up into component colours.
1) Dispersion
2) Tyndal effect
3) Persistence of vision
A-2, B-3, C-1
Definitions for the given terms:
Tyndal effect: It is the scattering of light as light beam passes through a colloid. The individual suspension particles scatter and reflect light, making the beam visible.
Persistence of vision: When an object is viewed by a person, its image remains on the retina of the eye for a time interval of 0.0625 seconds (116th). If more than one scene is viewed within 0.0625 s, all the images will appear interrelated sponataneously to the eye.
Dispersion: It is the phenomenon of splitting up of a composite light into its constituent colours. The regular array of colours formed by dispersion is the visible spectrum.
