The lens of the eye can focus light to make sharp pictures.
A
true
B
false
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The lens works together with the cornea to focus light correctly on the retina. When light hits the retina (a light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye), special cells called photoreceptors turn the light into electrical signals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your curved cornea bends the light into your eye. Your lens changes shape to bring things into focus. When you look at things that are far away, muscles in your eye relax and your lens looks like a slim disc. When you look at things that are close, muscles in your eye contract and make your lens thicker.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cornea and lens bend the light rays to focus them into a sharp, but upside-down image on the retina at the back of your eye.

Detailed explanation-4: -The eye’s lens sits just behind the iris. Just like a camera lens, the eye’s lens focuses light to form sharp, clear images. Light that has been focused through the cornea and aqueous humor hits the lens, which then focuses it further, sending the light rays through the vitreous humor and onto the retina.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lens: The lens is a clear part of the eye behind the iris that helps to focus light and images on the retina.
