What type of lens makes objects appear larger?
Convex lens
What lens make objects look bigger?
Convex lens make objects look bigger, Concave makes it smaller and farther away
Do convex lens make them bigger?
Yes, convex lens make objects loook bigger
Is magnifying lens a convex or a concave lens?
A magnifying lens is convex i.e. it bulges outwards. A concave lens would make objects appear smaller.
How does a convex lens work?
A convex lens is curved outward on both sides. Also, a convex lens, is used to enlarge objects.
What part of your eye uses small muscles to change its shape so that you can focus on near or distant objects?
The lens
What kind of lens is in a cow's eye?
The lens in a cows eye is flexible and clear. The flexible lens is able to change shape which allows it to better focus on objects.
What part of the eye uses small muscles to change its shape so that you can focus on near or distant objects?
The lens
Does the shape of the lens change when you sqeeze it?
NO
What type of lens is the lens of your eye?
The lens in the human eye is a convex lens, but it is flexible and when it is acted on by the ciliary muscle around it, the lens can be "flattened" to change the focus, or, when the muscle is relaxed, the lens can assume a more spherical shape. This is at the heart of the ability of the eye to focus on objects nearer or farther away.
Why is the lens in your eye more like jelly than glass?
It's because to change focus, the eye distorts the lens and so the lens has to be flexible. In camera lenses, the lens elements are moved back and forth to focus - it's difficult to see how that kind of mechanism could evolve; but the lens distortion system is similar(ish) to the way muscles work.
What is the part of your eye that can change shape?
It is the lens
What attached to the eyes convex lens can be changed?
The question is not worded clearly, but one possibility is a set of muscles which change the shape of the lens so that you can focus on objects both near and far. As we age new layers of cells are continually being added to the lens, resulting in thickening and stiffening, so the muscles that change its shape become less and less effective.
How does ciliary muscle change the shape of the lens?
its a muscle
Why does the near point become longer with age?
It increases because the lens hardens and makes it much more difficult for the eye muscles to change the shape of the lens It increases because the lens hardens and makes it much more difficult for the eye muscles to change the shape of the lens
How does using a magnifying lens change what details you can see?
It makes objects appear larger than the objects are
What contracts and relaxes to change shape of lens?
The ciliary muscles
