. If the mirror described in the previous problem is used to form an image of the same object now located 16 cm in front of the mirror, what would the new image position be? Assuming that the magnification equations developed for lenses also apply to mirrors, describe the image (size and orientation) thus formed.
An individual is nearsighted; his near point is 18.0 cm and his far point is 50.0 cm. (a) What lens power is needed to correct his nearsightedness? (b) When the lenses are in use, what is this persons near point?
Objects viewed through a microscope are placed very close to the focal point of the objective lens. Show that the minimum separation x of two objects resolvable through the microscope is given by x=1.22f0D , where f0is the focal length and D is the diameter of the objective lens as shown below.
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?
(Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically involve integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.) . An observer O stands in front of a plane mirror as shown in Figure 9.80. Which of the numbered locations 1 through 5 best represents the location of the image of the source S seen by the observer? Justify your choice by appealing to the appropriate law(s) of optics.
It has become common to replace the cataractclouded 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?
The power for normal distant vision is 50.0 D. A severely myopic patient has a far point of 5.00 cm. By how many diopters should the power of his eye be reduced in laser vision correction to obtain normal distant vision for him?
How far from the lens must the film in a camera be, if the lens has a 35.0-mm focal length and is being used to photograph a flower 75.0 cm away? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-solving strategy: Lenses.
The image produced by the microscope in Figure 2.38 cannot be projected. Could extra lenses or mirrors project it? Explain.
Is it possible that total internal reflection plays a role in rainbows? Explain in terms of indices of refraction and angles, perhaps referring to that shown below. Some of us have seen the formation of a double rainbow; is it physically possible to observe a t - - rainbow? (credit “Chad”/Flickr)
(Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically involve integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.) . A convex lens forms a clear, focused image of some small, fixed object on a screen. If the screen is moved closer to the lens, will the lens have to he (a) moved closer to the object, (b) moved farther from the object, or (c) left at the same location to produce a clear image on the screen at its new location? Explain your answer.
You can argue that a that piece of glass, such as in a window, is like a lens with an infinite focal length. If so, where does it form an image? That is, how are diand dorelated?
