Given below are two statements : Statement I : Differences in orientation, habits and interests will affect the classroom communication process Statement II : Age differences do not matter when we consider semantic noise In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :  Correct Answer Statement I is true but Statement II is false 

Effective communication in the classroom equals effective teaching.

Key Points

Statement I: Differences in orientation, habits and interests will affect the classroom communication process.

  • Previous knowledge, communication skills, age, sex, IQ, self-esteem, motivation, habits, emotional state, beliefs, values, interests, and aptitude of students are all factors that influence classroom communication.
  • Instructors are the source or sender of a message, their ability to communicate effectively has an impact on communication.
  • The efficiency of communication is determined by the source's characteristics and attributes
  • Communication in the classroom is also influenced by the setting.

​Thus, Statement I is true. 

Statement II: Age differences do not matter when we consider semantic noise

  • Semantic noise is a communication obstacle caused by a misunderstanding of word meanings. 
  • Semantic noise is ambiguity in words, sentences, or other symbols used in communication rather than sound. 
  • People from different cultures, ages, education, and experience can have differences in interpretation. 

​So, Statement II is false. 

Therefore, Statement I is true but Statement II is false.

The human eye is a complex part of the body that is used for seeing. Eyes enable people to perform daily tasks and to learn about the world that surrounds them. Sight, or vision, is a rapidly occurring process that involves continuous interaction between the eye, the nervous system, and the brain. When someone looks at an object, what he really sees is the light reflected from the object. This reflected light passes through the lens and falls on the retina of the eye. Here the light induces nerve impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain and then over other nerves to muscles and glands.
The eye is similar to a television camera. Both the eye and the television camera convert light energy to electrical energy. The eye converts light to nerve impulses that are interpreted by the brain as the sense perception called sight. A television camera converts light to electronic signals that are broadcast and transformed into light images in a television receiver. It is wonderful that human eyes blink an average of once every six seconds. This washes the eye with the salty secretion from the tear or lachrymal glands. Each tear gland is about the size and shape of an almond. These glands are situated behind the upper eyelid at the outer corner of the eye. After passing over the eye, the liquid from the gland is drained into the nose through the tear duct at the inner corner of the eye. The sense perception that the brain releases after the eye converts light to nerve impulses is known as
