You see a person in the distance. From Figure 1 assume the person of height 'AB' is reflected onto the retina through the nodal point 'n' as 'ab’. If AB is 2 m in height and 10 m from the nodal point n, what will be the size of the person ('ab’) on the retina in mm? Show your calculations. (Hint use basic trigonometry).

Consider the compound optical system shown in the diagram, where two thin lenses of focal lengths 7.5 cm (left lens) and 35 cm (right lens) are separated by a distance 25 cm. If a 2.9 cm tall object is placed as indicated in part (a), and the image formed is 0.74 cm tall, what is the magnification of the first lens? M1 = b. Using the information from part (a), calculate the image distance, in centimeters, from the first lens. di1 =
Two people have the vision that becomes unclear at the same distance from their eyes. One person has a near-point of 95 cm and the other person has a far-point of 95 cm. Which of these people requires a stronger prescription? sho your math in order to find the right answer !!! For "normal" vision, a healthy near-point is 25 cm and a healthy far-point is ∞. One of the prescriptions will be positive, and one will be negative. You need to be comparing the magnitudes of the prescription to compare strengths.
