A woman wears bifocal glasses with the lenses 2.0 cm in front of her eyes. The upper half of each lens has power -0.500 diopter and corrects her far vision so that she can focus clearly on distant objects when looking through that half. The lower half of each lens has power +2.00 diopters and corrects her near vision when she looks through that half. (a) What are the far point and near point of her eyes? (b) While the woman is repairing a leaky pipe under her kitchen sink, she looks at close objects through the upper half of her bifocal lenses. What is the closest object that she can see clearly?
