The Physics Classroom: Refraction and the Ray Model of Light: Anatomy of the Eye

Curated by ACT

This tutorial looks at the anatomy of the eye and how the sense of sight works. This is the first part of a learning module. Subsequent sections cover how images are formed and detected, the concept of accommodation where the eye adjusts its focus, and how farsightedness and nearsightedness are corrected. Includes detailed calculations using physics formulas, e.g., to find the quantitative relationship between the object distance, image distance, and focal length.
