Name two parts of the eye which refract light rays (or bend light rays) .

Solution

The Lens and The Cornea are the teo parts of an eye which refract the light rays.The lens is a transparent body behind the iris, the coloured part of the eye. The lens bends light rays so that they form a clear image at the back of the eye - on the retina. As the lens is elastic, it can change shape, getting fatter to focus close objects and thinner for distant objects. It bends as it :

1. enters the cornea
2. enters the lens
3. leaves the lens

Q. Maximum refraction of light rays entering the eye takes place from

In your provided video of Light and Reflection it is said that light remains undeviated after refraction through a glass slab. But in chapter of human eye it is said while refration through a triangular prism the light ray has angle of deviation and the Two rays intersect if extended. And why in diagrams it is shown that light rays bends away or towards in the left of normal, Why not to the right of the normal.
