The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "The eye lens is a...", we need to determine the type of lens that is present in the human eye. Let's analyze the options step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Eye Lens**: - The eye lens is a crucial part of the eye that helps in focusing light onto the retina. 2. **Identifying Lens Types**: - There are different types of lenses: - **Convex Lens**: Thicker in the middle than at the edges, converges light rays. - **Concave Lens**: Thinner in the middle than at the edges, diverges light rays. - **Double Convex Lens**: Convex on both sides. - **Double Concave Lens**: Concave on both sides. 3. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1: Transparent Double Convex Lens**: - This type of lens is thicker in the middle and is used to converge light. This is indeed the type of lens found in the human eye. - **Option 2: Transparent Double Concave Lens**: - This lens diverges light and is not used in the eye. - **Option 3: Transparent Concave or Convex**: - This option suggests a lens that is concave on one side and convex on the other. This type of lens is not present in the eye. - **Option 4: None of these**: - Since we have identified the correct type of lens, this option is incorrect. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **Option 1: Transparent Double Convex Lens**. This is the type of lens that the eye uses to focus light. ### Final Answer: The eye lens is a **Transparent Double Convex Lens**.
