The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Conjunctiva**: The first part that light rays encounter when entering the eye is the conjunctiva. This thin membrane provides protection and lubrication to the eye. 2. **Cornea**: After passing through the conjunctiva, light rays then enter the cornea. The cornea is responsible for bending (refracting) the light rays to help focus them. 3. **Aqueous Humor**: Next, the light travels through the aqueous humor, which is the clear fluid in the anterior chamber of the eye. This fluid nourishes the eye and maintains intraocular pressure. 4. **Lens**: The light then reaches the lens, which further focuses the light rays. The lens can change shape to allow us to see clearly at various distances. 5. **Vitreous Humor**: After passing through the lens, the light moves into the vitreous humor, a gel-like substance that fills the space between the lens and the retina. It helps maintain the shape of the eye and transmits light to the retina. 6. **Retina**: Finally, the light rays reach the retina, where they are converted into neural signals. The retina contains photoreceptor cells that detect light and send signals to the brain for visual processing. **Final Pathway**: The correct path taken by light rays in the eyeball is: Conjunctiva → Cornea → Aqueous Humor → Lens → Vitreous Humor → Retina. **Answer**: The correct answer is option B. ---

A ray of light travelling with a speed c leaves point 1 shown in figure and is reflected to point 2. The ray strikes the reflecting surface at a distance x from point 1. According to Fermat's principle of least time, among all possible paths between two points , the one actually taken by a ray of light is that for which the time taken is the least (In fact there are some cases in which the time taken by a ray is maximum rather than a minimum). Find the time for the ray to reach from point 1 to point 2.
