Question

Which of the following statement(s) is/are false regarding the adjustment of the eye when viewing objects nearby?

• A. Focal length decreases.
• B. Curvature of lens decreases.
• C. Ligaments tend to relax.
• D. Ciliary muscles contract.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Curvature of lens decreases.

The focal length of the eye can be adjusted according to the distance between the eye and the object. In case where the eye wants to see objects that are close, it's focal length decreases, ciliary muscles contract and curvature of the lens increases. These changes help in the formation of a clear image of the nearby object on our retina.
