More the curvature of the eye lens, lesser the focal length is.

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.


When viewing an object close to you your lens should be more?

When viewing an object close to you, your lens should be more curved in order to focus the incoming light accurately on your retina at the back of your eye. This change in lens curvature allows you to see nearby objects clearly by adjusting the focal length of the lens.


What is the focal length of goggles?

Goggles purchased "off the shelf" should not be refractive, i.e. should not have a 'focal length'. I suppose if you're a die-hard compulsive SCUBA diver, you could buy prescription goggles; then their focal length would be whatever suits your prescription. But for anything bought in a sports supply, if it has a focal length, then you're on the road to eye-strain ... take it back !


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 ability of the eye to change it's focal length?

The ability of the eye to change its focal length is known as accommodation. This process involves the ciliary muscles adjusting the shape of the lens to focus on objects at varying distances. Accommodation allows us to see objects clearly whether they are close up or far away.

When your eye is relaxed, does the lens have its largest or shortest focal length?

When your eye is relaxed, the lens has its shortest focal length.


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.


Which helps eye to adjust the focal length of the eye lens?

Ciliary Body


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 magnifing power of the lens?

Depends on your microscope. We've got one that's a x2.


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.


Would an eye piece with greater focal length increase or decrease magnification?

decreace ;)


Which lens of suitable focal length is used for correcting a hypermetropic eye?

convex lens


Why should the lens of a normal eye be fatter to look at near objects and thinner to look at distant objects?

The muscles around the lens of your eye push and pull it thicker and thinner to focus your eye on an object depending on the distance from your eye to the object. The focal length of a fat lens is shorter than the focal length of a thin lens (the light rays are bent more sharply) When you focus binoculars, you are adjusting their focal length


How tall mirror do you need to see your body full length?

That will depend upon your focal length--how far your eye is from the mirror. At a useful focal length the mirror can only be a few inches shorter than the subject.
