Describe the process of refraction as it occurs when light passes through a triangular glass prism, detailing how and why the emergent ray differs from the incident ray.

<p>When light enters the prism, it bends due to the change in refractive index. As light exits the prism, it bends again, further deviating from its original path. Because the prism's sides are not parallel, the emergent ray is not parallel to the incident ray and dispersion occurs.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What are the primary differences between how light refracts through a rectangular glass slab versus a triangular prism, particularly regarding the emergent ray's direction?

<p>In a rectangular glass slab, the emergent ray is parallel to the incident ray but laterally displaced. In a triangular prism, the emergent ray is not parallel to the incident ray due to the non-parallel refracting surfaces, causing deviation and dispersion.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Explain the purpose of using pins in Activity 10.1 when tracing the path of light through a prism. How does this method help in accurately determining the refraction of light?

<p>Using pins allows precise alignment along the light path, ensuring accurate measurement of the angles of incidence and refraction. Aligning pins on both sides of the prism helps trace the light's trajectory as it enters and exits the prism.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Discuss why donated eyes that are deemed unsuitable for transplantation are still valuable. What alternative uses do they serve in the medical field?

Describe the potential impact on corneal blindness if eye donation rates significantly increased worldwide. What are the limiting factors preventing more widespread donation?

<p>Increased donation rates could dramatically reduce corneal blindness by providing more corneas for transplantation. Limiting factors include lack of awareness, cultural or religious beliefs, and logistical challenges in eye collection and distribution.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Explain the concept of dispersion in the context of light refraction through a prism. How does the angle of the prism affect the amount of dispersion observed?

<p>Dispersion is the separation of white light into its constituent colors due to different wavelengths being refracted at slightly different angles. A larger prism angle typically results in greater separation of colors and more pronounced dispersion.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Describe in detail what would happen if the eye bank team delays the removal of eyes beyond the recommended 4-6 hour window. Address the consequences for potential recipients.

<p>Delaying eye removal beyond 4-6 hours post-mortem can lead to significant corneal cell damage and decreased tissue viability. This reduces the likelihood of successful transplantation, potentially rendering the corneas unsuitable and causing potential recipients to remain blind.</p> Signup and view all the answers

If you were to shine monochromatic (single color) light through a prism, would you observe the same band of colors as when shining white light through it? Why or why not?

Study Notes

Refraction of Light

  • The angle of incidence and angle of refraction should be compared at each refracting surface of a prism.

Dispersion of White Light by a Glass Prism

  • A narrow beam of white light can be created by allowing sunlight to fall on a narrow slit made in a thick sheet of cardboard.
  • When a prism is turned slowly with light from a slit falling on one of its faces, a beautiful band of colors appears on a nearby screen.

Eye Information

  • Eyes must be removed within 4-6 hours after death and the nearest eye bank informed immediately.
  • The eye bank team will remove the eyes at the home of the deceased or at a hospital.
  • Eye removal takes only 10-15 minutes, is a simple process, and does not lead to any disfigurement.
  • People infected with AIDS, Hepatitis B or C, rabies, acute leukaemia, tetanus, cholera, meningitis, or encephalitis cannot donate eyes.
  • An eye bank collects, evaluates, and distributes donated eyes.
  • Donated eyes are evaluated using strict medical standards.
  • Eyes unsuitable for transplantation are used for valuable research and medical education.
  • The identities of the eye donor and the recipient remain confidential.
  • One pair of donated eyes can give vision to up to four corneally blind people.
  • About 35 million people in the developing world are blind, and most can be cured.
  • About 4.5 million people with corneal blindness can be cured via corneal transplantation of donated eyes.
  • 60% of those 4.5 million are children below age 12.
  • Eye donors can be of any age group or sex.
  • People who use spectacles or have had cataract surgery can still donate eyes.
  • People with diabetes, hypertension, or asthma, and those without communicable diseases can also donate eyes.

Eye Defects and Correction

  • The weakening of ciliary muscles diminishes the eye lens's flexibility.
  • Some people suffer from both myopia and hypermetropia.
  • People with both myopia and hypermetropia often require bifocal lenses.
  • Bifocal lenses consist of both concave and convex lenses.
  • The upper portion of bifocal lenses consists of a concave lens and facilitates distance vision.
  • The lower part of bifocal lenses consists of a convex lens and facilitates near vision.
  • Refractive defects can be corrected with contact lenses or surgical interventions.

Questions About Eyesight

  • The power of accommodation of the eye must be understood.
  • If a myopic eye cannot see objects beyond 1.2 m distinctly, the correct corrective lens must be used to restore proper vision.
  • The far and near points of the normal human eye must be known.
  • A student having difficulty reading the blackboard while sitting in the last row may be suffering from a defect that can be corrected.
