How does the focal length of the lens change when you sift looking from a distant object to nearby object?
The focal length of the lens can be changed by the ciliary muscles in the eye due to which we can shift looking from a distant object to nearby object .
What happens when you look at an object that is far away?
Focal length of eye lens increases and the ciliary muscles expands
When an object is more than 20 feet from the eye and is clearly focused on the retina the?
ciliary muscle is relaxed
The object that casts the smaller retinal image is perceived to be?
more distant :)
What happens to the energy can impart when applying a force to an object?
If the object moves, then the energy is converted into the kinetic energy of the object. If it doesn't move, then no energy is imparted to it. If the force is applied by a human or animal, then the energy expended by the muscles to develop the force is radiated from the body as heat.

How does the lens in your eye change shape when you look at a nearby object then a distant object?
As an object gets farther from your eye, the focal length of the lens has to increase. The muscles around the lens stretch it so it has a less convex shape. But when you focus on a nearby object, these muscles make the lens more curved, causing the focal length to decrease.
What is the function of the ciliary in the eye?
Be sure not to confuse the roles of the ciliary muscles and pupillary muscles; this is a mistake that even the experts make at times. The ciliary muscles do not control the size of the pupils - this is the job of the sphincter pupillae and dilator pupillae. The ciliary muscles adjust the shape of the lenses in order to focus the eyes. They are attached to the zonules of Zinn, which are in turn attached to the lenses. Contraction of the ciliary muscles slackens the zonules so they don't pull so much on the lenses. The lenses become rounder, and the eyes can focus on a nearby object. When the ciliary muscles relax, the zonules pull the edges of the lenses so they become flatter and thinner for distance vision. This is the basic mechanism of accomodation. There is some disagreement regarding the details - look up Helmholtz and Schachar if you are interested.
What happens to the iris with accommodation?
If a person is looking at a near object. the cranial nerve tells the ciliary muscles to alter the focal distance of the eye. This causes nearer or farther images to come into focus on the retina. They call this process accommodation.
What is the sequence of reactions when a person looks at a distant object?
The sequence of reactions when a person looks at a distant object is pupils dilate, ciliary zonule, becomes taut, and lenses become less convex. During embryonic development the lens of the eye forms from the surface ectoderm overlying the optic cup.
What does ciliary body do?
The ciliary body is behind the iris in the human eye. Tiny cilia (fibers) called zonules attach the ciliary body to the eye's lens. When focusing on close objects, the ciliary body contracts and the zonules relax, allowing the lens to thicken and improve the focus. When looking at a distant object, the ciliary body relaxes and the zonules contract, making the lens thinner for sharper distance vision.
What does the ciliary muscle of the eye control?
The ciliary muscles are sphincter muscle that controls the thickness of the lens. Each eye has a ciliary muscle around the lens of the eye. When the muscle contracts the lens gets compressed, and therefore thicker, meaning that it refracts light more (and shortens the focal distance). When it relaxes the reverse is true. They are innervated by parasympathetic fibres originating in the occulomotor nucelus of the midbrain which travel (along with somatic fibres to the extrinsic muscles of the eye) along the occulomotor nerve (cranial nerve III). okkk
How is the human eye able to see near and far objects clearly?
The human eye has the ability to absorb light that is emitted and reflected from the environment. Visible light rays from some source, such as the Sun or a lamp, are emitted and transmitted. Light is absorbed from any and every object that it touches. That object absorbs the light that the corresponding pigment is able to absorb, such as chlorophyll absorbing red light. That light is absorbed into the eye and is processed to the brain via the optical nerve to create an image. Of course, any eye disorder, such as myopia or astigmatism, hinders the ability for the light to be properly processed and to be seen clearly by the eye.
