For a normal eye, the cornea of eye provides a converging power of 40 D and the least converging power of the eye lens behind the cornea is 20 D . Using this information, the distance between the retina and the cornea-eye lens can be estimated to be
Options
- A5 ~cm
- B2.5 ~cm
- C1.67 ~cm
- D1.5 ~cm
Correct answer
C. 1.67 ~cm
Step-by-step solution
Given P₁=40 D , and P₂=20 D We have P_ eff =40 D +20 D =60 D f= 100 P_ eff = 100 60 =1.67 ~cm
