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 cornea also plays a key role in vision. As light enters the eye, it is refracted, or bent, by the outside shape of the cornea. The curvature of this outer layer helps determine how well your eye can focus on objects close-up and far away. There are three main layers of the cornea: 1  Epithelium. 2  The most superficial layer of the cornea, the epithelium stops outside matter from entering the eye. 3  This layer of the cornea also absorbs oxygen and nutrients from tears. 4  Stroma.
