- Naiya wears glasses to correct her nearsightedness. The lenses have a power of Pi -2.50 D, and they are just powerful enough to allow Naiya to clearly focus on distant objects (i.e., objects located at infinity). Unfortunately, her glasses have gone missing, so today she is forced to wear her backup pair. The backup pair has a weaker prescription, but otherwise the two pairs of glasses are identical. Using the backup pair, she is only able to clearly focus on objects if they are closer than = 4.0 m from the lenses. What is the power P2 of the lenses in her backup pair? (Hint: your far point doesn't change when you take off your glasses.) Make sure that your representation indicates all the relevant details of the problem, such as: im- age distance, object distance, far point, lens-eye distance, lens shape, etc.arrow_forwardIs this question set up wrong? I think the statement "The magnification of a book held 7.50 cm from a 10.0 cm-focal length lens is 3.00." is impossible using the lens equation 1/do + 1/di = 1/f and the equation for magnification m = -di / do.arrow_forward6. A nearsighted man uses his ideally prescribed eyeglasses that have a refractive power of -3.00 diopters. He would like a prescription for contact lenses. What is the correct contact lens distance of 2.0 cm from his eyes? diopters ssf60 ss prescription if he normally wears his eyeglasses a f60 ssf60 pre 0 ssf60 staarrow_forward
- When you use a microscope, you may have noticed that you can rotate a "turret" to choose different objective lenses. Explain why the high-powered (magnification) lenses are also in larger mounts.arrow_forwardPeople who do very detailed work close up, such as jewellers, often can see objects clearly at much closer distance than the normal 25 cm. (a) What is the power in D of the eyes of a woman who can see an object clearly at a distance of only 7.30 cm? (Assume the lens-to-retina distance is 2.00 cm.) ____D (b) What is the size in mm of an image of a 6.00 mm object, such as lettering inside a ring, held at this distance? (Include the sign of the value in your answer.) ______mm (c) What would the size of the image be in mm if the object were held at the normal 25.0 cm distance? (Include the sign of the value in your answer.) _____mmarrow_forwardA nearsighted person has a far point of 25.3cm and is prescribed contact lenses to correct her vision. What lens strength (a.k.a., lens power), in Diopters, should be prescribed? Give your answer using the usual convention of positive values for converging lenses and negative values for diverging lenses.arrow_forward
