Very short pulses of high-intensity laserbeams are used to repair detached portions of the retina of the eye. Thebrief pulses of energy absorbed by the retina weld the detached portionsback into place. In one such procedure, a laser beam has a wavelengthof 810 nm and delivers 250 mW of power spread over a circularspot 510 mm in diameter. The vitreous humor (the transparent fluid thatfills most of the eye) has an index of refraction of 1.34. If the laser pulses are each 1.50 ms long, how much energy is delivered to the retina with each pulse?

Problem: A patient with a refractive myopia cannot see objects clearly if they are further away than 10 m. To be able to drive safely and obtain his driving license, he needs to be able to clearly see objects up to 100 m away. In this problem, Pmin eye = minimum optical power of the patient’s natural eyes, Pmin combo = minimum optical power of the patient’s natural eyes + corrective glasses, and Pmin glasses =  minimum optical power of the corrective glasses.   Questions:   What is the cause of the patient’s vision problems (i.e., his medical diagnosis)? What does this diagnosis mean for the patient?   If the patient opted to purchase glasses, would corrective lenses create real or virtual images in the patient’s field of vision? Would the eye interpret images produced by the glasses as real or virtual images?   What assumptions can be made about the size of the patient’s eyeball and their lens-retina distance (units of m)?   Define the term far point. What is the patient’s far…
