During LASIK eye surgery (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis), the shape of the cornea is modified by vaporizing some of its material. If the surgery is performed to correct for nearsightedness, how does the cornea need to be reshaped?
What is the focal length of a makeup mirror that produces a magnification of 1.50 when a person’s face is 12.0 cm away? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the ProblemSolving Strategy for Mirrors.
Example 23-9 : Image formed by a converging lens. What are (a) the position, and (b) the size, of the image of a 7.6-cm-high leaf placed 1.00 m from a +50.0-mm-focal-length camera lens?
A lens can be used to start a fire by focusing an image of the sun onto a piece of flammable material. All other things being equal, would a lens with a short focal length or a long focal length be better as a fire starter? Explain.
A friend lends you the eyepiece of his microscope to use on your own microscope. He claims that since his eyepiece has the same diameter as yours but twice the focal length, the resolving power of your microscope will be doubled. Is his claim valid? Explain.
Can an image be larger than the object even though its magnification is negative? Explain.
A laboratory (astronomical) telescope is used to view a scale that is 300 cm from the objective, which has a focal length of 20.0 cm; the eyepiece has a focal length of 2.00 cm. Calculate the angular magnification when the telescope is adjusted for minimum eyestrain. Note: The object is not at infinity, so the simple expression m = fo/fe is not sufficiently accurate for this problem. Also, assume small angles, so that tan = .
If the cornea is to be reshaped (this can be done surgically or with contact lenses) to correct myopia, should its curvature be made greater or smaller? Explain. Also explain how hyperopia can be corrected.

A camera with a 100 mm focal length lens is used to photograph the sun and mean. What is the height at the image of the sun on the film, given the sun is 1.40106km in diameter and is 1.50108km away?
The most common type at mirage is an illusion that light from faraway objects is reflected by a pool of water that is not really there. Mirages are generally observed in deserts when there is a hot layer of air near the ground. Given that the reflective index of air is lower for air at higher temperatures, explain how mirages can be formed.
How far from the lens must the film in a camera be, if the lens has a 35.0 mm local length and is being used to photograph a flower 75.0 cm away? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the ProblemSolving Strategy for lenses.
