The human eye has a lot in common with a pinhole camera, being essentially a small box with a hole in the front (the pupil) and a detector at the back (the retina). The distance from the pupil to the retina is approximately 24 mm.Suppose you look at a 190-cm-tall friend who is standing 9.8 mm in front of you. Assuming your eye functions like a pinhole camera, what will be the height, in mm, of your friend’s image on your retina?
An astronomical telescope has its two lenses spaced82.0 cm apart. If the objective lens has a focal length of78.5 cm, what is the magnification of this telescope?Assume a relaxed eye.
I'm going to install a placard on the school bulletin board. The placard is 2 meters long and the bottom of the placard is 1 meter above the eye level. How many meters away is the position of the placard's lowest to highest angle from the notice board?

- The eyepiece of a refracting telescope has a focal length of 9.00 cm. The distance between objective and eyepiece is 1.20 m, and the final image is at infinity. What is the angular magnification of the telescope?arrow_forwardThe 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 1mm2 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 mm 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.arrow_forwardThe smallest object we can resolve with our eye is limited by the size of the light receptor cells in the retina.
