Question

Give importance of retina in image formation.

Answer 1

The retina plays a crucial role in image formation as it acts as the light-sensitive layer of the eye.

• Light Reception: The retina contains photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) that detect light and color.
• Image Processing: The lens focuses light onto the retina, forming an inverted image, which is then converted into nerve signals and sent to the brain via the optic nerve for interpretation.
