NCERT solutions for class 10 science The Human Eye and the Colorful World

Today we will learn ‘The defects of vision and their correction’.

Defects of vision and their correction
The ability to see is called vision.It is also called an eyesight.Vision is known as ‘Drishti’ in Hindi. There are three common defects of vision or defects of the eyes:
  1. Myopia
  2. Hypermetropia
  3. Presbyopia
Myopia (Short-sightedness or nearsightedness)
Myopia is the defect of vision due to which a person cannot see the distant objects clearly, though he/she can see the nearby objects clearly. The far point of an eye suffering from myopia is less than infinity.
 The defect of the eye called myopia is caused:-
  1. Due to thehigh converging power of eye lens because of its short focal length.
  2. Due to the eyeball being too long.
In some cases, in an eye suffering from myopia, the ciliary muscle attached to the eye lens does not relax sufficiently to make the eye-lens thinner to reduce its converging power. So due to the greater converging power of the eye-lens in amyopic eye, the image of a distant object is formed in front of the retina and hence the eye cannot see it clearly.
Myopia is corrected using spectacles containing concave lenses. The concave lens used for correcting myopia should be of such a focal length that it produces a virtual image of the distant object at the far point of the myopic eye. The whole purpose of using a concave lens here is to reduce the converging power of the eye-lens.

Why is Hindi Day celebrated on 14 September?

Why is Hindi Day celebrated on 14 September? After independence, the Government of India set a goal to give an ideal form to the mother tongue of the country and set a target for grammar and orthography using the Devanagari script to bring standardization in writing. Subsequently, on September 14, 1949, the Constituent Assembly decided by a vote that Hindi would be the official language of India. To propagate the importance of this decision and to spread Hindi in every region, India is celebrating Hindi Day every year from 1953 to 14 September, at the request of Rashtrabhasha Prachar Samiti, Wardha. Apart from this, 14 September is also the birthday of Rajendra Singh, who worked tirelessly to make Hindi the official language of India. Hindi Day is observed every year on 14 September to mark the importance of the Hindi language in the country. The Hindi language is one of the oldest languages, which derives most of its academic vocabulary from the Sanskrit language written in the Deva

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne
