Karen sees Jamie approaching her along the road. As he gets nearer, the retinal image of him gets bigger, but he does not look any bigger. Explain why not.

Can someone help me understand this?

As the person comes nearer the size of the image does become bigger (moon looks bigger than stars though they are actually much bigger). But since our mind has some idea of the size of a human being, our mental perception of him doesn't change.
