Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -First, light passes through the cornea (the clear front layer of the eye). The cornea is shaped like a dome and bends light to help the eye focus.
Detailed explanation-2: -Refraction is the process of bending of light that occurs when it passes through the cornea and the lens.
