How is the retina of the eye like yhe film in a camera

The human eye is a wonderful instrument, relying on refraction and lenses to form images. There are many similarities between the human eye and a camera, including:

a diaphragm to control the amount of light that gets through to the lens. This is the shutter in a camera, and the pupil, at the center of the iris, in the human eye.

a lens to focus the light and create an image. The image is real and inverted.

a method of sensing the image. In a camera, film is used to record the image; in the eye, the image is focused on the retina, and a system of rods and cones is the front end of an image-processing system that converts the image to electrical impulses and sends the information along the optic nerve to the brain.

The way the eye focuses light is interesting, because most of the refraction that takes place is not done by the lens itself, but by the aqueous humor, a liquid on top of the lens. Light is refracted when it comes into the eye by this liquid, refracted a little more by the lens, and then a bit more by the vitreous humor, the jelly-like substance that fills the space between the lens and the retina. The lens is critical in forming a sharp image, however; this is one of the most amazing features of the human eye, that it can adjust so quickly when focusing objects at different distances.

Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 1, scene 2.
patriot [66]

The correct answer is 4: Cassius cannot believe that a weakling like Caesar has become so great. Cassius complains of being forced to bow before Caesar (he "must bend his body If Caesar carelessly but nod on him"), and the fact that Caesar has suffered from fevers and seizures makes his submission to him all the more enraging. Cassius does not believe himself to be less than any other man, much less one who has such weak health.

2. Kate has yards of fabric and needs yards to make a skirt. How much extra fabric will she have left after making the skirt 4
Andru [333]
I say 1 1/2 yards because you need to subtract 4 3/8 by 2 7/8. If you do subtract you would get 2 and -4/8 so you have you take away one from two which would be 1 4/8. Since 4+4 = 8 it would equal half so that the complete answer would be 1 1/2.
