Explain how the eye and a camera differ in adjusting for a change in focus
What will be an ideal response?
The camera lens has a fixed focal length so it adjusts focus by varying the lens-film distance. The eye has an essentially fixed lens-retina distance so the focal length of the lens is varied by changing the lens curvature (by muscular action).
