Consider the unaccommodated crystalline lens of the eye as an isolated unit having radii of curvature and effective refractive index as given for the schematic eye in Table 19-2.

a. Calculate its focal length and refracting power as a thin lens in air.


b. Calculate its focal length and refracting power in its actual environment, surrounded on both sides with fluid of effective index 1.33. Assume a thin lens.


c. Calculate its focal length and refracting power again by treating it as a thick lens of thickness 3.6 mm. (The matrix techniques of Chapter 18 may well be applied to this problem).
