Hello,
The question in the text says, "When the eye is focused on a distant object, such as a star, the image will appear:
A. On surface of lens
B. between lens and focal point
C. at the focal point
D. beyond the focal point
I though that since we are looking at a very distant object, the eye would relax (not contract so much) to increase the focal point of the eye. And since the image must focus on the retina so we can see the object, would the image converge at a point between the focal point and the retina, since the focal point will be something huge?
The correct answer was C, but I really don't see their logic if, even in the passage, it says that image must be produced on the retina of the eye.
Help!!
