Solution

(a) Cornea and eye-lens
(b) Cornea
(c) Eye-lens. Our eye lens is a bifocal convex lens which is a converging lens. When light falls on it the lens changes its focal length in such a way that the rays get focused on the retinal wall. Ciliary muscles in the eyes help in chnaging the focal length by altering the curvature of the lens. This is also called power of accomodation.
