Prescriptions for vision correction are given called diopters (D). Determine the meaning of the unit. Obtain information ( perhaps by calling an optometrist or performing an internet search) on the minimum uncertaintly with which corrections is diopters are determined and the accuracy with which corrective lenses can be produced. Discuss the source of uncertainties in both the prescription and accuracy in the manufacture of lenses.

thin lenses: a convex and a concave lenses. One goal of this system is to obtain an image that is larger than what a single convex lens would yield of a distant object. Such lens system is common in photography. The focal lengths of both lenses are 5 cm and they are 4 cm apart. n=1 n= 1 n=1l 4 cm (a) Find the ABCD matrix of the telephoto lens system shown in the above figure. (b) Find the locations of the first and second principle planes of the system. (c) Find the effective focal length, front focal length, and back focal length. (d) Consider an object (with a height of 5 cm) located at 36 cm away (to the left) from the first convex lens, find the location and the magnification of the image. (e) Draw a ray diagram to show how the image is formed. (N.B. remember to specify all the cardinal points). (f) Comparing (d) with the case of only having a convex lens (same convex lens in the figure). What is the magnification of the image when using this convex lens alone?

The smallest object we can resolve with our eye is limited by the size of the light receptor cells in the retina. In order for us to distinguish any detail in an object, its image cannot be any smaller than a single retinal cell. Although the size depends on the type of cell (rod or cone), a diameter of a few microns (μm) is typical near the center of the eye. We shall model the eye as a sphere 2.50 cm in diameter with a single thin lens at the front and the retina at the rear, with light receptor cells 5.0 μm in diameter. (a) What is the smallest object you can resolve at a near point of 25 cm? (b) What angle is subtended by this object at the eye? Express your answer in units of minutes (1°=60 min), and compare it with the typical experimental value of about 1.0 min. (Note: There are other limitations, such as the bending of light as it passes through the pupil, but we shall ignore them here.)
It is desire to sight from hill A (elev = 3025.62 m) to hill B (3048.91 m) 7 km away. Hill C (elev = 3039.76 m), 3.5 km away, obstructs the line of sight. a) If towers of identical heights are to be constructed at hill A and hill B so that the line of sight will clear the ground at hill C by 3.0 m, find the height of the each towers. b) If no tower is to be constructed at hill B, the height of the tower to be constructed on the hill A so that the line of sight will clear the ground at hill C by 3.0 m, find the height of the tower. c) IF no tower is to be constructed at hill A, the height of the tower to be constructed on the hill B so that the line of sight will clear the ground at hill C by 3.0 m, find the height of the tower.

You have a concave spherical mirror (the same holds if you had a convex mirror) If the value of q (the distance from the image to the mirror along the principal axis of the mirror) is 0.68m and the distance of p (the distance from the object to the mirror along the principal axis of the mirror) is 3.37m, what is the focal length of the mirror? h B Al C h' The magnification equation and the sign convention for q imply that real images of real objects are always inverted (if both p and q are positive, m is negative); virtual images of real objects are always upright (if p is positive and q is negative, m is positive). Keeping the signs of p and q straight in your mind is the most challenging aspect of mirrors (and lenses). Fortunately, table 23.2 summarizes when p and q are positive and when they are negative.
