Textbook Question
Chapter 23, Problem 51P
BIO Lens-retina distance Fish and amphibians accommodate their eyes to see objects at different distances by altering the distance from the lens system to the retina (to learn more about this, see the Reading Passage at the end of this chapter). If the lens system has a focal length of 2.10 cm, what is the lens-retina distance needed to view objects at (a) infinity, (b) 300 cm, and (c) 25 cm?

1. Assume that pupillary distance between your two eyes is 63 mm. Write a calculator that determines the object distance based on the angle that an external point object distends between the pupils. Give the angle for objects at 30 cm, 1 m, and 10 m. Give your answers in degrees correct to 3 significant digits.
a.) Draw a simple version of the human eye looking at the sun (never look at the sun yourself!), showing the lens and the retina. Label s, s’, and f.
b.) If the distance between the lens and the retina is around 2 cm, relabel s, s’, and f with their exact distances.
c.) Why do we need a lens in the eye to view distant objects?
Lens Equation: Lab Activity
The relationship between the object distance do, image distance di and the focal length f can be modeled by
the thin lens equation

A thin lens is a lens where the width of the lens is a lot smaller than the diameter of the lens.
Double convex lens: Assume that the objects distance do is positive if it's to the left of the lens, the image
distance di is positive if it's to the right of the lens, the focal point is positive if its on the other side of the lens
as the object.
Double concave lens: Assume that the objects distance d, is positive if it's to the left of the lens, the image
distance di is negative if it's on the same side of the lens, and the focal point is negative if it's on the same side
as the object.
Focal length is positive if working with a double convex lens and negative is working with a double concave
lens.
The lens magnification can be described using the formula m =: where h, is the objects height, and h,

- Astronomers often take photographs with the objective lens or mirror of a telescope alone, without an eyepiece. (a) Show that the image size h for such a telescope is given by h = fh/(f p), where f is the objective focal length, h is the object size, and p is the object distance. (b) What If? Simplify the expression in part (a) for the case in which the object distance is much greater than objective focal length. (c) The wingspan of the International Space Station is 108.6 m, the overall width of its solar panel configuration. When the station is orbiting at an altitude of 407 km, find the width of the image formed by a telescope objective of focal length 4.00 m.arrow_forwardA water fountain is at the center of a circular pool as shown in Figure P1.59.

How high is the fountain?arrow_forwardYou have a concave spherical mirror (the same holds if you had a convex mirror) If the value of q (the distance from the image to the mirror along the principal axis of the mirror) is 0.68m and the distance of p (the distance from the object to the mirror along the principal axis of the mirror) is 3.37m, what is the focal length of the mirror? h B Al C h' The magnification equation and the sign convention for q imply that real images of real objects are always inverted (if both p and q are positive, m is negative); virtual images of real objects are always upright (if p is positive and q is negative, m is positive). Keeping the signs of p and q straight in your mind is the most challenging aspect of mirrors (and lenses). Fortunately, table 23.2 summarizes when p and q are positive and when they are negative.arrow_forward
