Grade 6 Physics Quiz: How Light Helps People to See

What are the main parts of the human eye and their functions?

• Cornea, iris, pupil, lens, retina, and optic nerve

• Nose, mouth, ears, and skin

• Sclera, vitreous humor, aqueous humor, and ciliary body

• Eyelid, eyebrow, tear duct, and eyelashes

Explain how the cornea and the lens work together to focus light onto the retina.

• They absorb and reflect light onto the retina.

• They have no role in focusing light onto the retina.

• They bend and focus light onto the retina.

• They create a barrier that prevents light from reaching the retina.

Describe the function of the iris in controlling the amount of light entering the eye.

• Producing tears to keep the eye moist

• Supporting the lens to focus the light

• Regulating the size of the pupil to control the amount of light entering the eye.

• Controlling the movement of the eyeball

How does the lens change shape to focus on objects at different distances?

• By contracting or relaxing the ciliary muscles

• By expanding the cornea

• By moving closer to the object

• By changing the color of the lens

Why is the retina considered the most important part of the eye for vision?

• The retina is considered the most important part of the eye for vision because it contains photoreceptor cells that capture light and convert it into electrical signals.

• The retina is not important for vision

• The cornea is the most important part for vision

• The iris is the most important part for vision

Explain the role of the rods and cones in the retina in the process of vision.

• Rods and cones are responsible for taste perception

• Rods and cones help in hearing instead of vision

• Rods and cones have no role in the process of vision

• Rods and cones are responsible for detecting light and color, and sending signals to the brain for visual perception.

What is the process of light entering the eye and reaching the retina?

• Reflection

• Diffraction

• Absorption

• Refraction

Describe how the light signals are transmitted from the retina to the brain for interpretation.

• The retina contains photoreceptors that convert light signals into electrical signals, which are then transmitted through the optic nerve to the brain for interpretation.

• The optic nerve converts light signals into electrical signals for the brain

• The retina reflects light directly to the brain for interpretation

• The brain sends light signals to the retina for interpretation
