Practice question

**Human eye** least distance D=25 cm, near point, far point infinity for normal eye, accommodation by ciliary muscles changing lens curvature, power ≈60 D total. Defects: myopia far point <∞ corrected by diverging lens, hypermetropia near point >25 cm corrected by converging lens, astigmatism cylindrical lens. Using Snell’s law: n₁ sin i = n₂ sin r . Glass ( n₁ = 1.5 ), air ( n₂ = 1 ), i = 60° . 1.5 sin 60° = 1 sin r . sin 60° = (√(3)/2) ≈ 0.866 ⇒ 1.5 × 0.866 = 1.299 . sin r = 1.299 > 1 , which is impossible, so
