The focal length of a normal eye-lens is approximately

The focal length of a normal eye-lens is approximately

Options

  1. A1 mm1 \text{ mm}
  2. B25 cm25 \text{ cm}
  3. C1 m1 \text{ m}
  4. D2 cm2 \text{ cm}

Correct answer

D. 2 cm2 \text{ cm}

Step-by-step solution

The distance between the eye lens and the retina in a normal human eye is approximately 2 cm2 \text{ cm}.

For viewing distant objects, the object distance is u=−∞u = -\infty.

Using the lens formula, 1v−1u=1f\dfrac{1}{v} - \dfrac{1}{u} = \dfrac{1}{f}

Substituting v=2 cmv = 2 \text{ cm} and u=−∞u = -\infty, we get 12−1−∞=1f\dfrac{1}{2} - \dfrac{1}{-\infty} = \dfrac{1}{f}

f=2 cmf = 2 \text{ cm}

Thus, the focal length of a normal eye-lens is approximately 2 cm2 \text{ cm}.
