Question
Ciliary muscles of human eye can contract or relax. How does it help in the normal functioning
of the eye?
of the eye?
✓
Answer
Ciliary muscles get relaxed and the eye lens becomes thin when the eye is looking at a distant object, and these muscles contract and make the eye-lens thick when the eye is looking at a nearby object. Thus, ciliary muscles help in the normal functioning of the eye by changing thethickness of the eye-lens while focussing.

An object is placed at a distance of 6cm from a convex mirror of focal length 12cm. Find the position and nature of the image.
A 4 cm tall object is placed on the principal axis of a convex lens. The distance of the object from the optical centre of the lens is 12cm and its sharp image is formed at a distance of 24cm from it on a screen on the other side of the lens. If the object is now moved a little away from the lens, in which way (towards the lens or away from the lens) will he have to move the screen to get a sharp image of the object on it again? How will the magnification of the image be affected?
