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.

When you are focusing on a nearby object what effect does this have on suspensory ligaments?

When you focus on a nearby object, your ciliary muscles contract to change the shape of the lens in your eye, allowing you to see the object clearly. This action pulling on the suspensory ligaments attached to the lens, causing them to relax.


When you see distant object your focal distance increases or decreases?

When you see a distant object, your focal distance increases. This means that your eyes adjust in order to focus on the object that is far away, by lengthening the shape of the lens to bring the object into focus.


Can force change the shape of an object?

The 4 main forces that can change the shape of an object are stretching, compressing, bending and twisting.


Does the shape of an object change its density?

Changing the shape CAN change the density. If you change it into a smaller shape, then you increase the density. However the mass will not change.


Can force change an object?

Yes, force can change an object's motion or shape. For example, applying a force can make an object move, stop, or change direction. It can also deform an object by stretching, compressing, or bending it.


What if a force causes an object to change shape?

If a force causes an object to change shape, it means that the force is causing deformation in the object by altering its structure or appearance. This change in shape can be temporary or permanent, depending on the magnitude and nature of the force applied.


Why does changing shape of an object dose not change the density?

Density is a property that depends on the mass and volume of the object, not its shape. Changing the shape of an object does not alter the amount of mass or volume it contains, so the density remains the same.


What are 3 things that forces can change?

Forces can change the speed of an object, the direction of an object's motion, and the shape of an object.


Which forces can change the shape of an object?

The 4 main forces that can change the shape of an object are stretching, compressing, bending and twisting.


Does an object change of state change its shape?

Usually, yes.


What can change a shape but doesn't change the volume?

Compression or stretching can change the shape of an object without changing its volume. When an object is compressed or stretched in one direction, its shape is altered but the volume remains constant.


How do the shape of the lens change in order to focus on an object?

The shape of the lens changes by becoming thicker or thinner, known as lens accommodation, to focus on objects. When focusing on a near object, the lens becomes thicker, and when focusing on a distant object, the lens becomes thinner. This process allows the lens to adjust its refractive power to bring objects into focus on the retina.
