Question
To fit a contact lens to a patient's eye, a keratometer can be used to measure the curvature of the cornea—the front surface of the eye. This instrument places an illuminated object of known size at a known distance p from the cornea, which then reflects some light from the object, forming an image of it. The magnification M of the image is measured by using a small viewing telescope that allows a comparison of the image formed by the cornea with a second calibrated image projected into the field of view by a prism arrangement. Determine the radius of curvature of the cornea when
p = 34.0 cm
and
M = 0.0160.

A lighted object is held near the eye, and keratometer measures the magnification of the image formed by the reflection from the front of the cornea. If an object is held 10.0cm in front of a patient's eye, and the reflected image is magnified by a factor of 0.035, what is the radius of curvature of the patient's cornea?arrow_forward

Her optometrist determines that without glasses she can focus clearly only on objects that lie at distances between 0.450 m and 4.00 m. The optometrist decides that the best way to handle her eyesight problems is to prescribe bifocals that will give her normal visual acuity from 25.0 cm out to infinity. After trying on several pairs of glasses frames, they agree that the glasses will be a distance of 2.20 cm from her eyes.
