The pupils should constrict as the pencil approaches the face and dilate as the pencil is pulled away The pupils should dilate as the pencil approaches the face and constrict as the pencil is pulled away The pupils are not expected to change size in response to changes in distance between it and the face.arrow_forwardPresbyopia is the tendency to gradually become far-sighted (hyperopic) as you age. If you have normal vision when you are young, you have a near point of 25 cm. D. As you continue to age, the corrective lenses will no longer be sufficient to allow you to see an object that is 25 cm in front of your eye. When you are wearing your corrective lenses, suppose that you can now see objects only if they are no closer than 40 cm in front of your eye.

- pility: Good to go The sun is 150,000,000 km from earth; its diameter is 1,400,000 km. For a science project on solar power, a student uses a 24-cm-diameter converging mirror with a focal length of 53 cm to focus sunlight onto an object. This casts an image of the sun on the object. For the most intense heat, the image of the sun should be in focus. a. Where should the object be placed? b. What is the diameter of the image? 2 c. The intensity of the incoming sunlight is 1050 W/m². What is the total power of the light captured by the mirror? d. What is the intensity of sunlight in the projected image? Assume that all of the light captured by the mirror is focused into the image.
