Question

Choose the correct statements:
Statement\[1\]: We see objects, when light emitted from the objects enter our eyes Statement\[2\]: We see objects, when light reflected from the objects enter our eyes Statement\[3\]: Eyes alone cannot see an object Statement
\[4\]: Eyes emit light rays in all direction

Answer 1

Hint: In order to solve this question, we are going to first of all consider the four statements, then, it is explained as to how the process of image formation takes place in order for the eyes to see the object. It is explained how light from objects lead to the objects to become visible to us.

Complete step-by-step solution:
We see objects, when light emitted from the objects enter our eyes but eyes alone cannot see an object.
In order to see an object, the light from the objects has to enter the eye. So whenever, the light strikes an object, it gets reflected and then, the reflected light enters our eyes and the object is visible to us due to the image formation of it in the retina. However, it is not just the eyes that see the object in fact the light falling on the eyes helps to see the objects.
Hence, out of the four statements given, the statements numbered 2 and 3 are the correct ones.
Statement\[2\]: We see objects, when light reflected from the objects enter our eyes
Statement\[3\]: Eyes alone cannot see an object

Note: It is important to note that the process of an object to become visible to our eyes takes place in the following way. The light reflected reaches our eyes and is reflected onto the retina, then, the retina forms the image of the object from the light rays that are falling on it. Hence it is visible to us.
