when the eye lens becomes more convex to focus the nearby objects ,the eye is said to be accomodated. WHY

Solution

Dear Student,

The eye lens becomes more convex meaning, it becomes thick, the focal length decreases and it will focus the nearby objects onto the retina.

Therefore, the converging power of the lens increases.

Accommodation: When eye-lens can focus the distant as well as nearby objects on the retina by changing the focal length of an eye lens is known as accommodation. And the eye is called accommodated.

Q. When the eye looks at near objects, the lens becomes more convex due to the_________________.

Q. The ciliary muscles in an eye change the focal length of an eye lens to focus distant or nearby objects clearly, this ability of an eye is known as the power of an eye.

Statement 1: Hypermetropia is corrected by use of convex lens

Statement 2: The eye lens has to become thick so that it Hypermetropia (hyperopia) also known as farsightedness is a common type of refractive error where distant objects may be seen more clearly than objects that are near is able to bend light coming from a nearby object even more so as to form image at retina itself which a hypermetropic eye is unable to do so we place an extra convex lens which assists the eye lens in further convergence of light.
