                      \nAnswer:
                      \nIn the eye, the image distance (distance between eye lens and retina) is fixed and it cannot be changed. So when we increase the distance of an object, there is no change in the image distance.<\/p>\n

                      \nThe maximum accommodation of a normal eye is at a distance of 25 cm from the eye.
                      \nThe focal length of the eye lens cannot be decreased below this. Thus an object placed closer than 25 cm cannot be seen clearly by a normal eye.<\/p>\n

                      \nAnswer:
                      \nIf the earth has no atmosphere, no particles present either. Thus no scattering of light. Then, the sky appears dark.<\/p>\n

                      Question 55.
                      \nWhy do different coloured rays deviate differently in the prism?
                      \nAnswer:

                            \nAmong the colours of visible light, red has more wavelength and least scattered. Thus, red colour can easily go through fog or mist or smoke without getting scattered. It can be seen from long distance. So red colour is used in universal danger signal.<\/p>\n

                                      2. This molecule responds to the light whenever the size of the molecule is comparable to the wavelength of light and vibrates.<\/li>\n
                                      3. Due to these vibration, molecule reemits a certain fraction of absorbed energy in all directions. The emitted light is called scattered light.<\/li>\n

                                            \nAnswer:
                                            \nIf dispersion does not occur in nature, then there is no rainbow formation and splitting of light into seven different colors. If there is no scattering then the oceans and sky appears to be black. The sun appears white all the time (Including Sunrise and Sunset).<\/p>\n
