Question
During the process of accommodation for focusing on closer objects, which of the following changes occurs within the eye?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
The document explains, "In order to form a sharp image of closer objects on the retina, the tension in the ciliary muscle increases and it contracts, causing the lens to bulge and its radius of curvature to change." The bulging implies a decrease in the radius of curvature and a decrease in focal length, not an increase or flattening.
Hint
Consider the action of the ciliary muscle when the eye shifts focus from distant to near objects.
