Q

What is the blind spot and

A

When the image of the retina is also on top of the optic nerve.This point is soo dense with eye nerves that there is no room for light sensitive cells

Q

Why do we see a white circle in between 2 black ones

A

Because are brain treats the black like night vision and is very sensitive.Are eyes look at the white and it is over sensitive and keep sending messages to our brain therefore we ‘see’ a white circle

Q

Why can we sometimes see the word and not others

24
Q

What is the point where to the two lines meet called

A

Principal focus

25
When parallel rays pass through a line they
Diverge
26
This lens is known as a
Diverging lens
27
What two things happen when you look through a convex lens
Upside down Back to front
28
Is an image through a convex lens clear
No blurry and confusing
29
Light from the top of eye focuses on
Bottom of retina
30
Light from bottom of image
Focuses on top of retina
31
What does the brain do to the image
Flip it
32
Converging
Cross lines
33
Diverging
Out wide lines
34
Light is a mixture of
Many different colours
35
The colours can be split into the
Spectrum
36
Using a what can light be split
A prism
37
Light refracts when entering a glass prism an spreads out In the colours of the spectrum when leaving this is called
Dispersion
38
What is the colour spectrum
Red. (Richard of York gave battle in vain) Yellow Orange Green Blue Indigo Violet
39
Real life example of dispersion
Rainbow
40
What is the electro magnetic spectrum
Sèvrerai types of radiation waves
41
Write the 7 types of radiation
Gamma rays X-rays UV rays Visible rays Infrared rays Microwaves Radio waves
42
Which type has longest wave length
Radio
43
What type is size of atom
Gamma
44
Relationship between wavelength and energy
Lower wave higher energy
45
Gamma
Sterilise fruit and veg and medical equipment Can damage cells and cause camcer
46
X-ray
Bone X-rays,security at airport,X-ray metals for cracks Damage cells and cause camcer
47
UV
Tan beds check bank notes sterilising Cause cancer and damage cells
48
Visible light
Light bulbs,to screen,sun,photography Overexposure can damage the retina
49
Infrared
Might vision goggles,fire heaters,toasters.Tv remotes Burns skin
50
Microwave
Cooks food mobile phones satellites Can heat tissue at specific frequency
51
Radio
Radio,some satellites No dabger
52
Transverse wave
Vibration of particles are perpendicular to the direction of energy
53
Travels at
300,000,000m/s vacuum space
54
How do we see
Light Travel through the air Iris control size, of pupil and amount of light let in The light through the pupil The light rays are bent(refracted)by the lens Cornea bends(refracts) light rays is the enter the eye The Image is focused on the retina which contains light receptor cells The optic nerve carries the electrical impulse from the eye to the brain.
55
FAST
Faster away (the normal) Slower towards
