Multiple Choice
Correct focusing of the image on the retina in humans is achieved by changing the __________.
A
distance between the lens of the eye and the retina
B
size of the retina
C
shape of the eyeball
D
curvature of the cornea
E
shape of the lens of the eye
Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand that the human eye focuses light onto the retina to form clear images. This process is known as accommodation.
Recognize that accommodation involves adjusting the lens of the eye to focus light correctly on the retina.
Identify that the lens changes shape to focus on objects at different distances. This is achieved by the ciliary muscles altering the lens's curvature.
Eliminate incorrect options: The distance between the lens and retina, size of the retina, shape of the eyeball, and curvature of the cornea do not change during accommodation.
Conclude that the correct mechanism for focusing images on the retina is the change in the shape of the lens of the eye.
