Answer options

  1. Aqueous humour
  2. Vitreous humour
  3. Lens
  4. Cornea

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Lens

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: C. Lens šŸ“š Explanation: The crystalline lens of the human eye has the maximum refractive index compared to other parts like the cornea or the humours. This allows the lens to effectively bend light rays to focus them on the retina. The refractive index of the lens is approximately 1.40, while the cornea is around 1.37. This precise bending of light is essential for clear and sharp vision at different distances.
