Solution

The correct option is C
It is present to maintain the pressure inside.

Aqueous humour is a transparent, watery fluid between the cornea and the crystalline lens. It maintains the pressure needed to inflate the eye and provides nutrition for the central cornea and lens as they do not have blood supply.

Q. What is dispersion of white light? Is it possible to recombine the lights of seven colours to obtain the white light again? [3 marks]

Is it true that dispersion of light also takes place in parallel sided glass slab but not to that extent as in prism .

I read in book that :

Dispersion takes place inside the slab, but, since the rays which emerge from the slab all run parallel to one another, the dispersed colours recombine to form white light again, and no dispersion is observed except at the very edges of the beam.
It follows that the dispersion of white light through a parallel-sided glass slab is not generally a noticeable effect.

Assertion(A): A rainbow is formed when white light is incident on raindrops.

Reason(R): White light contains seven colours and it undergoes dispersion inside a raindrop.

a wall reflects light and a mirror also reflect light.what difference is there in the way they reflects light .
