Question
A hunter can't clearly see anything that lies farther than 37.6 cm from her eye. Suppose that she pursues contact lenses to compensate for her nearsightedness.
(a)

- Assume that the near point of a hyperopic (farsighted) eye is 0.936 m in front of the eye. A lens is used to let the eye see clearly an object that is 0.250 m in front of the eye. Ignore the small distance from the lens to the eye. What is the power of the lens (in diopters; answer sign and magnitude)?arrow_forwardIs this question set up wrong? I think the statement "The magnification of a book held 7.50 cm from a 10.0 cm-focal length lens is 3.00." is impossible using the lens equation 1/do + 1/di = 1/f and the equation for magnification m = -di / do.arrow_forwardUse the worked example above to help you solve this problem.

- (part 1 of 3) A person with a nearsighted eye has near and far points of 10 cm and 23 cm, respectively. Assuming a lens is placed 2.7 cm from the eye, what power must the lens have to correct this condition? Answer in units of diopter. (part 2 of 3) Contact lenses placed directly on the cornea are used to correct the eye. What is the power of the lens required in this case? Answer in units of diopter.
