An object is placed 11.3 cm in front of the cornea. (The cornea is thin ans has approximately parallel sides so that the reflection that occurs as light travels from air to cornea to aqueous humor is essentially the same as though the aqueous humor were directly in contact with the air. The aqueous humor has index of refraction n = 1.34 and the radius of curvature of cornea is 7.8 mm.)

(a) What is the image distance for the image formed by the cornea alone?


(b) The image formed by the cornea serves as an object for the lens. Treat the lens as a thin lens 6 mm behind the cornea. Find the optical power of the lens necessary to form an image on the retina, 18 mm from the center of the lens.

The physical properties of the relaxed eye are: distance from front surface of cornea to front surface of the lens: 3.6 mm, thickness of lens: 3.6 mm, cornea (r1): 8 mm, anterior surface of lens (r2):10.0 mm, posterior surface of lens (r3): 6.0 mm. The refractive index of aqueous and vitreous humor and lens are 1.34 and 1.41, respectively. With these properties, the distance from the cornea to the retina is 25 mm and an object infinitely far away is...

The cornea behaves as a thin lens of focal length approximately 1.80 cm , although this varies a bit. The material of which it is made has an index of refraction of 1.38, and its front surface is convex, with a radius of curvature of 5.00 mm . (Note: The results obtained here are not strictly accurate, because, on one side, the cornea has a fluid with a refractive index different from that of air.) Part A: If this focal...
