What happens to the image distance in the eye when you increase the distance of an object from the eye?
If everything is working as it should, the image distance in the eye never changes. The image always needs to focus on the retina, which doesn't move. This is where the lens comes in, specifically its ability to change its focal length. When the object distance changes, the focal length has to change, in order to keep the image distance constant. Muscles around the lens change the shape of the lens, in order to change its focal length.
What is the relation of focal length of eye with its curvature?
More the curvature of the eye lens, lesser the focal length is. Lesser the curvature, greater the focal length is
What is accommodation in physics?
The ability of the eye to adjust its focal length is known as accommodation. Since a nearby object (small dobject) is typically focused at a further distance (large dimage), the eye accommodates by assuming a lens shape that has a shorter focal length
How do spectacles work?
Corrective lenses modify the focal length of the eye to alleviate the effects of nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) or astigmatism. As people age, the eye's crystalline lens loses elasticity, resulting in presbyopia, which limits their ability to change
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 .

Eye has fixed focal lengthThen how can you say that the focal length of changes?
The eye has variable focal length, its lense varies with thickness in order to focus to distant or nearby objects. Focal distance is constant, from lense to retina.

The change in focal length of an eye lens to focus the image of objects at varying distances is done by the action of?
accommodation

Which helps eye to adjust the focal length of the eye lens?
Ciliary Body
How does the focal length of the human eyeball change?
The "eyeball" doesn't have a focal length, any more than the body of a camera or the tube of a telescope have. It's the lenses (or mirrors) in the eye, camera, and telescope that have focal lengths. In the eye, the focal length of the lens changes when the shape of the lens changes ... becoming flatter or thicker in the center. That change is accomplished by muscles around the circular edge of the lens. They stretch the lens to flatten it, and relax to thicken it, when you shift your focus to longer or shorter distances.
What uses a long focal length a short focal length lens and has an inverted image?
a camera? Or an eye? Something like that. Weird question
How does the eyepiece affect the total magnifacation in a telescope?
A telescope consists of two lenses. 1) The main lens which collects the light ( it is relatively bigger that eyepiece). 2) Eye piece , through which we see. Magnification of a telescope depends on the focal length of the eye piece and the main lens. Magnification = Focal length of the main lens / Focal length of the eyepiece . For example : If the focal length of the main lens is 12 units and the focal length of the eyepiece is 2 units , then the magnification will be 12/2 = 6.When the focal length of the main lens is constant , the focal length of the eyepiece is inversely proportional to the magnification.
What is the function of the muscles in the human eye?
The eye lens is kept in place by ciliary muscles. These muscles can contract or relax.If the ciliary muscles contract or relax the focal length of the eye lens becomes large or small.Or in other words the function of the eye lens is to increase or decrease the focal length of the eye lens.
