Question

Cornea is a transparent spherical structure which

• A. reflects light
• B. scatters light
• C. refracts light
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C

refracts light

Correct option- C

1. The cornea, which covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber, is the transparent front section of the eye.
2. The cornea, the clear window on the outer front surface of the eyeball, bends or refracts light entering the eye.
3. It is responsible for the majority of the eye's optical power, or ability to bend light.
4. Because the transition from air to cornea is the highest change in the index of refraction that light undergoes, the majority of that refraction occurs at the initial surface.
5. The cornea accounts for around 80% of refraction and the inner crystalline lens for about 20%.

Hence, the correct answer is cornea refracts light. Option C is correct.
