Questions 31 to 36 are based on the following passage
The focusing or sharpening of the image is performed by a special apparatus.In every camerathe farther the object is from the eyethe farther forwardand the nearer the object is to the eyethe farther backwardis its image thrown.In photographers'camerasthe back is made to slideand can be drawn away from the lens when the object that casts the picture near and pushed forward when it is far.The picture is thus kept always sharp.But no such change of length is possible in the eyeballand the same result is reached in another way.The lens namelygrows more convex͹ģwhen a near object is looked atand flatter when the object recedes.This change is due to the antagonism of theciliary muscle״The ligamentʹwhen the ciliary muscle is at restassumes such a spreadout shape as to keep the lens rather flat.But the lens is highly elasticand it springs into the more convex form which is natural to it whenever the ciliary muscleby contracting makes the ligament relax its pressure.The contraction of the muscleby thus tendering the lens more refractiveadapts the eye for near objectsaccommodatesit for themas we sayand its relaxationby rendering the lens less refractive adapts the eye for distant vision.Accommodation for the near is thus the more active changesince it involves contraction of the ciliary muscle.When we look far offwe simply let our eyes go passive. We feel the difference in the effort when we compare the two sensation of change.
