Question
A typical person's eye is 2.5 cm in diameter and has a near point (the closest an object can be and still be seen in focus) of 25 cm, and a far point (the farthest an object can be and still be in focus) of infinity.
1)What is the minimum effective focal length of the focusing mechanism (lens plus cornea) of the typical eye? (Express your answer to two significant figures.)
2)What is the maximum effective focal length of the focusing mechanism (lens plus cornea) of the typical eye? (Express your answer to two significant figures.)

- Thin lenses. Object O stands on the central axis of a thin symmetric lens. For this situation, each problem in the table (below) gives object distance p (centimeters), the type of lens (C stands for converging and D for diverging), and then the distance (centimeters, without proper sign) between a focal point and the lens. Find (a) the image distance i and (b) the lateral magnification m of the object, including signs. Also, determine whether the image is (c) real or virtual, (d) inverted from object O or noninverted, and (e) on the same side of the lens as object O or on the opposite side. р Lens +12 C, 24 (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) i m R/V I/NI Sidearrow_forwardShown in the figure below is a system containing two lenses and an object.

- Needs Complete solution with 100 % accuracy.arrow_forwardDarcy suffers from farsightedness equally severely in both eyes. The focal length of either of Darcy's eyes is 18.9 mm in its most accommodated state (i.e, when the eye is focusing on the closest object that it can clearly see) What lens strength (a.k.a., lens power) of contact lenses should be prescribed to correct the farsightedness in Darcy's eyes? When wearing her contact lenses, Darcy's corrected near point should be 25.025.0cm. (Assume the lens-to retina distance of Darcy's eyes is 2.00 cm, and the contact lenses are placed a negligibly small distance from the front of Darcy's eyes) Answer choices: a) 2.45 D b) 1.09 D c) 1.37 D d) 3.49 D e) 1.92 Darrow_forwardA lens of focal length 42 mm is used as a magnifier. The object being viewed is 6.8 mm long, and is positioned at the focal point of the lens. The lens is moved closer to the object, so that the image is now 15 cm from the lens. The distance the lens has been moved, in cm, is closest to:arrow_forward
