  • The Eye
    • near and far points
      • The near point is the closest distance that the eye can focus on
        • for adults thats 25cm
      • As the eye focuses n closer objects its power increases
        • the lens changes shape and the focal length decreases
          • but the distance between the lens and the image stays the same
    • cameras
      • light from the object travels to the chamera  and is reflected by the lens forming the image on film
        • the image on the film is real because the light rays actually meet there
          • The image is smaller then the object because  the objects a lot futher away than the focal length lens
            • the image is inverted
            • the image is inverted

    • Cornea
      • is a transparent window with a convex shape
      • It also has a high relective index
      • the cornea dose most of the eyes foucusing
    • Iris
      • the coloured part of the eye
      • made up of muscels that controle the size of the pupil the hole in the middle of the iris
        • this controles the intensity of light that enters the eye
    • The lens
      • the lense changes shape to focus lgiht from objects at varying distances
      • its connected to the ciliary muscles by the suspensory ligaments and when the ciliary muscles contract tenshion is released  and the lens takes on a flat more spherical shape
        • when they relax the suspensory ligaments oull the lens into a thinner flatter shape
    • Retina
      • which is covered  in  light sensitive cells
        • These cells detect light and send signals to th brain to be interprited
      • images are formed on the retina
  • the lense changes shape to focus lgiht from objects at varying distances
  • The far point is the furthest distance that the eye can focus comftably
    • for normal sighted people thats infinity
