Question

The image formed on the retina of a human eye is

• A. temporary
• B. permanent
• C. blurred
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A

temporary

Explanation

1. The image is created on the light-sensitive surface of the eye called the retina.
2. Refractions at the cornea generate sequential images on the retina.
3. An image formed on the retina of the eye is not permanent in nature as it fades away.
4. Even after the object is removed, the image generated on the retina does not fade away instantly, but its impression remains on the retina for around $\frac{1}{16}s$ seconds.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A) temporary.
