- If the lens of a person’s eye is removed because of cataracts (as has been done since ancient times), why would you expect an eyeglass lens of about 16 D to be prescribed?arrow_forwardWhat is the near point of a person whose eyes have an accommodated power of 53.5 D?arrow_forwardThe contact lens prescription for a mildly farsighted person is 0.750 D, and the person has a near point of 29.0 cm. What is the power of the tear layer between the cornea and the lens if the correction is ideal, taking the tear layer into account?arrow_forward
- A myopic person sees that her contact lens prescription is —4.00 D. What is her far point?arrow_forwardWhat range of magnification is possible with a 7.0 cm-focal length converging lens?arrow_forwardA point source of light is 50 cm in front of a converging lens of focal length 30 cm. A concave mirror with a focal length of 20 cm is placed 25 cm behind the lens. Where does the final image form, and what are its orientation and magnification?arrow_forward
- The accommodation limits for a nearsighted persons eyes are 18.0 cm and 80.0 cm. When he wears his glasses, he can see faraway objects clearly. At what minimum distance is he able to see objects clearly?arrow_forwardWhat is the focal length of a magnifying glass that produces a magnification of 3.00 when held 5.00 cm from an object, such as a rare coin?arrow_forwardRepeat the previous problem for glasses that are 1.75 cm from the eyes.arrow_forward
- For normal distant vision, the eye has a power of 50.0 D. What was the previous far point of a patient who had laser vision correction that reduced the power of her eye by 7.00 D, producing normal distant vision?arrow_forwardIt has become common to replace the cataract-clouded lens of the eye with an internal lens. This intraocular lens can be chosen so that the person has perfect distant vision. Will the person be able to read without glasses? If the person was nearsighted, is the power of the intraocular lens greater or less than the removed lens?arrow_forwardA nearsighted man cannot see objects clearly beyond 20 cm from his eyes. How close must he stand to a mirror in order to see what he is doing when he shaves?arrow_forward
