Question
During the Finding Smiley Lab, Tyrone and Mia place a small light bulb at various distances from a converging lens. The light bulb has a smiley face marked on one of its side. Their goal is to locate the images of the light bulb by projecting the refracted light onto a note card.
The lens is known to have a focal length of 20. cm. Predict the image distances which Tyrone and Mia will likely determine when the smiley face is located a distance of …
a. … 60. cm from the lens.
b. … 40. cm from the lens.
c. … 30. cm from the lens.
d. … 10. cm fron the lens.

- A person is near sighted. Without vision correction, the far point of her right eye is a modest 40 cm instead of infinity. As with other near-sighted individuals, this does come with a benefit the near point of this eye is only 8.0 cm, so she has excellent close vision. a. What power lens is required to correct her distant vision in the right eye? b. With this lens in place, what is her near point?arrow_forwardProblem 99. A) How is a good single-lens camera (one that can be "focused") able to take clear pictures of objects that are a variety of distances from the camera? B) How is the eye able to place clear images on the retina of objects that are a variety of distances from the eye? C) For a fixed focus camera to take clear pictures, the object distance must satisfy a certain inequality. What is this inequality? D) Why does the nearpoint increase as people age?arrow_forwardTens distance 2 cm. .aui eye by . 8. A severely myopic patient has a far point of 5.00 cm.

- A sharp image of a pencil that’s 25 cm away from your eye is formed on your retina. As you move the pencil farther away from your eye, your eye can still form a sharp image of the pencil on your retina at 50 cm, 75 cm, 100 cm, 125 cm, 150 cm, 175 cm... but fail when it is 200 cm away. This is because ___________. your lens can’t get flat enough; you need a diverging lens in front of your eye. not enough information your lens can’t get curved enough; you need a converging lens in front of your eye. your lens can’t get curved enough; you need a diverging lens in front of your eye. your lens can’t get flat enough; you need a converging lens in front of your eye.arrow_forwardCalculate the power of the eye in D when viewing an object 4.18 m away.
