Another published set of refractive indices for the eye components has ncornea = 1.376, naqueous = 1.336, nlens = 1.40, nvitreous = 1.337, and the four radii of curvature as (from anterior to posterior) 7.8, 6.4, 10.1, and 6.1 nm. Calculate what are the focusing power and focal length of this eye when the eye is in contact with water.

9-4 Figure Q9-2 shows a diagram of the human eye. The refractive indices of the components in the light path are: cornea 1.38, aqueous humor 1.33, crystalline lens 1.41, and vitreous humor 1.38. Where does the main refraction-the main focusing-occur? What role do you suppose the lens plays? Figure Q9-2 Diagram of the human eye (Problem 9-4) iris humor retina corne lens aqueous humor
SOLUTION SET UP The center of curvature of the first surface of the lens is on the outgoing side, so R = +6.0 mm. The center of curvature for the second surface is not on the outgoing side, so R2-_5.5 mn. We solve for f and then use the result in the thin-lens equation. Now we'll apply the thin-lens equation to the eye When light enters your eye, most of the focusing happens at the interface between the air and...
