4 What is the purpose of changing the thickness of the eye lens in the
human eye?

A To form a real, inverted and smaller image on retina

B To observe an object under different light intensities
C To control the amount of light entering the eye
D To observe objects at various distances

5 The optical instrument that produces a real image only is the

A telescope
B periscope
C pinhole camera
D magnifying glass

6 Which of the following cells is sensitive to the colours of light?

A Rod cell
B Cone cell
C Nerve cell
D Sensory cell

7 The amount of light that enters the eye is controlled by the

A cornea
B pupil
C lens
D iris

8 An object appears black when white light shines upon it. This is
because the object

A disperses the white light

B absorbs all the colours of white light
C reflects all the colours of white light
D scatters all the colours of white light

The figure above shows a set-up to investigate the effect of coloured

filters on a coloured object under white light. If a yellow filter is placed in
between the cyan filter and the green object, the colour of the object
appears

A cyan
B blue
C green
D black

The figure above shows the addition of green, blue and yellow light on a
white screen. The colours of P and Q are

P Q
A Yellow Red
B White Magenta
C Magenta Cyan
D Cyan White
