Question
nearsighted man cannot see clearly objects farther than 30.0 cm from their eyes. To prescribe them corrective lenses in the form of glasses that will sit 1.90 cm from their eyes. The corrective lenses will be planoconcave and made of polycarbonate (n = 1.586).
a. What is the focal length of the corrective lens?
b. What is the radius of curvature of the concave side of the lens?
A 4.00 cm tall object is placed 66.0 cm in front of the corrective lens.
c. Where will the image appear?
d. What is the height of the image?
e. Is the image upright or inverted? Explain how you know.
f. Draw a ray diagram

- 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_forwardA boy with myopia has an abnormal far point of 80.0 cm.

Any physicist worth their weight in garbanzo beans (not chick peas) knows that concave lenses will have a positive focal length. b. For virtual images, the image distance is positive and the object distance is negative. c. By convention, if the image height is positive then the image is upright. d.
