A quokka (a ridiculously cute small marsupial – look it up on Google) of height 30 cm stands on the ground 2 m to the left of a wall with a small pinhole at the height of 1 m above ground level. An image of the quokka appears on a tall screen 6 m to the right of the wall. Draw and upload a diagram (with labelled distances) and trace the rays from the feet and the head as they travel to the screen.

(a) The print in many books averages 3.50 mm in height. How high is the image at the print on the retina when the book is held 30.0 cm from the eye? (b) Compare the size of the print to the sizes of rods and cones in the fovea and discuss the possible details observable in the letters. (The eye-brain system can perform better because of interconnections and higher order image processing.)
