Q:

When one enters a dark room after being in bright light one is not able to see anything clearly for a while because

A) the retina of the eye moves forward B) the retina of the eye moves backward
C) the iris is unable to dilate the pupil immediately to be able to see things D) the eye has no power of accommodation
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) the iris is unable to dilate the pupil immediately to be able to see things

Explanation:

The size of the pupil of the eye automatically adjusts itself  according to the intensity of light passing through it;if the intensity is more , the size is less, if less, it is more. So in our case the pupil should dilate i.e, increase in size to be able to see in the dark . This switchover takes sometime. But here the entry into the dark room is immediate . So the eye has no time to adjust itself and hence is not able to see at all for a while.

Q:

A series of fast moving still pictures can be made to appear as a moving picture because the eye 

A) can focus very rapidly as pictures change B) is quicker than the brain
C) can see 2 images separated only if the interval betwen seeing them is more than one-tenth of a second D) can shut out some of the light
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) can see 2 images separated only if the interval betwen seeing them is more than one-tenth of a second

Explanation:

The eye can see images separately only if they are exhibited at an interval of more than 1/10 of a second. In the case of a movie, the still pictures come one after the other at less than this minimum interval. So we do not see them separately but only as a continuous moving picture.
