Question

Mention the characteristics of the image that falls on the retina of the eye.

Answer 1

Process:

1. The retina is focused by the lens.
2. The ciliary muscles of the eye bend or flatten the lens to focus light rays on the retina.
3. For bringing near and remote objects into focus, the lens must be adjusted.
4. The image created on the retina is real and inverted, and the optic nerve sends chemical signals to the brain, which turn them into erect images that can be seen with the eyes.

Characteristics:

The image that appears on the retina is real, but it is inverted and diminished.
