Ford produced Model Ts in this manner for three years at its new Highland Park plant before adopting the assembly line. When modern drivers think about the Ford Model Tâif they think about it at allâthey perhaps dimly perceive it as the car that changed the world.
The Cornea. The cornea represents the strongest part of the refracting power of the eye, providing about 80% of the power of the system. The index of refraction of the cornea is about 1.376. Rays pass from the cornea into the watery fluid known as the aqueous humor which has an index of refraction of about 1.336, so most of the refraction is at the cornea-air interface.

The corneaâs refractive power bends the light rays in such a way that they pass freely through the pupil the opening in the center of the iris through which light enters the eye. The iris works like a shutter in a camera. It has the ability to enlarge and shrink, depending on how much light is entering the eye.
