In this Class 10 Science topic from “The Human Eye and the Colourful World,” students learn how white light separates into its constituent colours when it passes through a glass prism. They study that different colours bend by different amounts because their wavelengths and refractive indices differ, forming a spectrum commonly described as VIBGYOR. The topic connects dispersion with the formation of rainbows and helps explain how refraction produces the colourful effects observed in nature.

Question 1MediumLevel 16
If auxin distribution remains equal in a plant why will bending to one side be less likely?
Correct answer: A
Directional bending in a plant usually results from unequal growth on two sides of a stem or shoot. Auxin can promote cell elongation in shoots, so a higher auxin concentration on one side may make that side grow faster and cause curvature. If auxin is distributed equally, growth remains nearly equal on both sides and there is little asymmetry to produce bending. Therefore option A is correct.
If photoreceptor cells of the retina are damaged, why will vision be affected?
Correct answer: A
Photoreceptors are specialised cells in the retina. Rods and cones absorb light and convert it into electrical nerve signals, which are processed and ultimately carried to the brain through the optic pathway. If these cells are damaged, the first stage of visual signal formation fails, so vision becomes impaired. The other options describe unrelated functions.
Hormones spread through the blood throughout the body, yet why do they affect only target organs?
Correct answer: A
The governing concept is receptor specificity in endocrine signalling. Blood carries a hormone widely, but a response occurs only when the hormone can bind to a matching receptor on or inside a target cell. This binding starts the appropriate cellular reaction, making option A correct. Other cells generally also receive blood; hormones are not restricted to the eye and are not normally destroyed simply by light. Therefore B, C, and D do not explain target-organ specificity.
Why are the human hand, bat wing, and horse forelimb considered homologous?
Correct answer: A
The human hand, bat wing, and horse forelimb have different functions—grasping, flying, and walking—but their major bones follow a comparable structural plan. This underlying similarity is consistent with inheritance from a common ancestral limb, followed by modification for different uses. Hence A is correct. B is false because humans and horses do not fly, while C and D confuse structure with appearance or function.
