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 beA. `1.5 cm`B. `5 cm`C. `2.5 cm`D. `1.67 cm`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
For a normal eye, when relaxed, the eye lens offers minimum power, which is given as
`P = 40 D + 20 D = 60 D`.
As rays from infinity are focussed on the retina, therrfore, distance between retina and cornea eye
lens `= f = (1)/(P) = (1)/(60)m = (100)/(60)m = 1.67 cm`
