The eye can be regarded as a single refracting surface. The radius of curvature of this surface is equal to that of cornea (7.8mm) . This surface separates two media of refractive indices 1 and 1.34. Calculate the distance from the refracting surface at which a parallel beam of light will come to focus.

Refraction through spherical surface -

\frac{\mu _{2}}{v}-\frac{\mu _{1}}{u}= \frac{\mu _{2}-\mu _{1}}{R}
 

- wherein

u= Object distance

v= image distance

R= Radius of curvature

 

\left ( \frac{1.34}{V} - \frac{1}{\infty } \right ) = \frac{1.34 - 1}{7.8}

V = 30.7mm\approx 3.1cm
