For Terrestrial Vertebrates, the Greatest Amount of Refraction Occurs

Question

For terrestrial vertebrates, the greatest amount of refraction occurs
A) at the interface between the air and the cornea.
B) in the aqueous humor.
C) in the lens.
D) in the vitreous humor.

Accepted Answer

The greatest amount of refraction in terrestrial vertebrates occurs at the air-cornea interface because the difference in refractive index between air and the cornea is significant, leading to a substantial bending of light.
