Chapter 10: The Human Eye and the Colourful World applies the principles of optics to the human eye. It details the anatomy of the eye (retina, pupil, iris, lens) and the concept of Power of Accommodation. Common vision defects like Myopia (near-sightedness), Hypermetropia (far-sightedness), and Presbyopia are explained along with their correction using lenses. The chapter also explores optical phenomena such as the Dispersion of white light by a glass prism, the formation of rainbows, and Atmospheric Refraction (twinkling of stars). Scattering of light (Tyndall effect) is used to explain why the sky is blue and the sun appears red at sunrise/sunset.
