Question

What is the name of the part of a human eye where an image of an object is formed?

Answer 1

Eyes are organs of the visual system.
They provide animals with vision and ability to receive and process visual detail as well as enabling several photo response functions that are independent of vision.
Eyes detect light coming from source and convert it into electrochemical impulses.

Complete answer:

In order to solve this question we need to know more about eyes and parts of eyes.
In higher organisms, the eye is a complex optical system which collects light from the surrounding environment and regulates its intensity through a diaphragm which further focuses it on lenses to form an image.
Then it converts image into electrical signals, and transmits these signals to the brain through neural pathways which connect the eye to the visual cortex with the help of optic nerve and other areas of the brain.
Eye consists of following parts:
1. Sclera
2. Cornea
3. Anterior and Posterior chambers
4. Iris
5. Lens
6. Vitreous
7. Retina
Sclera: It is the whitish part of the eye.
Its exterior surface is smooth and white.
Its Interior surface is brown in color.

The Cornea: The cornea is the clear bulging surface in front of the eye.
It is the refractive surface of the eye.
Usually transparent and is sensitive to foreign bodies, cold air and chemical irritation Anterior & Posterior Chambers: The anterior chamber is present between the cornea and the iris whereas the posterior chamber is present between iris and the lens.
It also consists of aqueous humor.
Iris/Pupil: This is heavily pigmented.
Pupil is a small hole through which light passes.
Its diameter ranges from 3-7 mm.
Lens: It is the transparent part enclosed in an elastic capsule.
Shape of the lens can be changed with the help of ciliary muscles but mainly occurs in young individuals.
Retina: The retina is a thin layer of tissue that covers the back of the eye from inside.
It is located near the optic nerve.
The purpose of the retina is to receive light and convert the light into neural signals and send these signals to the brain for visual recognition.
An image is formed on the retina with light rays converging at the cornea and upon entering and exiting the lens.
Rays from the top and bottom of the object are traced and produce an inverted real image on the retina.

So, the correct answer is retina.

Note: As we know eye is the major organ of the body.
Eye provides a vision or ability to see in animals.
Any damage cause in the eye or parts of eye can cause various types of eye diseases such as:
1. Age related macular degeneration.
2. Refractive errors.
3. Cataract.
4. Diabetic Retinopathy.
5. Glaucoma.
