Since the index of refraction of the lens of the eye is not very different from that
Question:
Since the index of refraction of the lens of the eye is not very different from that of the surrounding material, most of the refraction takes place at the cornea, where n changes abruptly from 1.0 in air to about 1.4. Assuming the cornea to be a homogeneous sphere with an index of refraction of 1.4, calculate its radius if it focuses parallel light on the retina a distance 2.5 cm away. Do you expect your result to be larger or smaller than the actual radius of the cornea?
