The apparent size of an object is determined by the size of its image on?

The retina


What is the difference between the image formed on the retina and the object being looked at other than the size?

The image formed at the retina is always real and inverted but the brain interprets it as erect. the object you see will not be inverted.


What is the size of the retina?

1.74mm


How big is the image projected at the back of the eye?

It's size will be proportional to the amount it is filling your vision. If you can see nothing else, it will fill your retina. If, however, the object is only 1% of what you can see, it will only cover 1% of your retina.


Is resolution is a microscope's power to increase an object's apparent size?

No, it's magification


How does the focal length of eye changes from a near object to far object?

When you're looking at a near object, the light rays converge at a point behind the retina so the focal length of your eye increases so that the parallel rays of light converge on the back of the retina. Therefore, if you're looking from a near object to a far object, the focal length of your eye should decrease back to its normal, relaxed size.


What the relationships between the surface area of an object and the volume as the object increases in size?

They both increase. The rate of increase of the surface area is equivalent to the rate of increase of the volume raised to the power 2/3.


What happens to an object's acceleration as the size of the force acting on the object increases?

F=m.a , a=F/m; acceleration is directly proportional with force. acceleration increase while force increase.


What makes distant objects look bigger and nearer?

if the object is too close to the eye the distance bteween the object and retina is less and hence the image of the object is not formed on the retina so we cannot see the object properly


What factors affect the size of a shadow formed on a screen?

The size of the shadows formed changes if the distance between the object and the screen is also changed. If there is an increase in the distance between the screen and the object, the size of the shadow also increases.


What will happen if object distance is decreased in pinhole camera?

If the object distance is decreased in a pin hole camera, the image size will increase. If the object is too close, the full image will not be formed and the screen will appear dark.


Why do you see objects as upwright and of the same size although the images formed on the retina are upsidedown and diminished?

The short answer is that the interpretation of what you see occurs in the visual cortex, not in the retina.
