Chapter 19, Problem 2CQ
Suppose you have two pinhole cameras. The first has a small round hole in the front of the camera. The second is identical in every regard, except that it has a square hole of the same area as the round hole in the first camera. Would the pictures taken by these two cameras, under the same conditions, be different in any obvious way? Explain.

- A person with a nearsighted eye has near and far points of 16 cm and 25 cm, respectively. (a) Assuming a lens is placed 2.0 cm from the eye, what power must the lens have to correct this condition? (b) Suppose contact lenses placed directly on the cornea are used to correct the person's eyesight. What is the power of the lens required in this case, and what is the new near point? Hint: The contact lens and the eyeglass lens require slightly different powers because they are at different distances from the eye.arrow_forwardA person with a nearsighted eye has near and far points of 16 cm and 25 cm, respectively.
