Solution

An optical system's focal length is a measurement of how strongly it converges or diverges light.

  1. Because the distance between the eye lens and the retina is roughly 1.7cm, a normal eye lens has a focal length of around 1.7cm.
  2. As a result, when parallel rays arrive, they form an image at focus, and the focal length of the picture at the retina should be around 1.7cm.
  3. Thus, for an object at infinity, the focal length of a normal eye lens is about 1.7cm.
