Refraction in your eye happens at the surface of your cornea

Reference no: EM13538338

As we discussed in class, most of the refraction in your eye happens at the surface of your cornea (n = 1.376). Use this idea to explain why wearing a swimming mask or goggles helps us to see more clearly underwater. Include a diagram in your explanation.
