- During LASIK eye surgery (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis), the shape of the cornea is modified by vaporizing some of its material. If the surgery is performed to correct for nearsightedness, how does the cornea need to be reshaped?arrow_forwardCan an image be larger than the object even though its magnification is negative? Explain.arrow_forwardA clerk at the local grocery store wears glasses that make her eyes look smaller than they actually are. Is the clerk nearsighted or farsighted? Explain.arrow_forward
- You are looking straight into the front of an aquarium. You see a fish off toyour right. Is the fish actually in the direction you’re looking, farther to the right, or farther to the left? Explain.arrow_forwardIf a concave mirror produces a real image, is the imagenecessarily inverted? Explain.arrow_forward2. In most applications of concave spherical mirrors (including this activity) it is assumed that all light rays travelling parallel to the mirror's optical axis are reflected through the mirror's focal point; however, this is an approximation that applies only to light rays traveling near the mirror's optical axis. Explain why a concave spherical mirror does not reflect all light rays travelling parallel to its optical axis through its focal point.arrow_forward
- Use the law of reflection to prove that the focal length of a mirror is hall its radius of curvature. That is, prove that f = R/2. Note this is true for a spherical mirror only if its diameter is small compared with its radius of curvature.arrow_forwardWill the focal length of a lens change when it is submerged in water? Explain.arrow_forwardIf the cornea is to be reshaped (this can be done surgically or with contact lenses) to correct myopia, should its curvature be made greater or smaller? Explain. Also explain how hyperopia can be corrected.arrow_forward
- Explain why an oar that is partially submerged in water appears bent.arrow_forwardA cataract-impaired lens in an eye may be surgically removed and replaced by a manufactured lens. The focal length required for the new lens is determined by the lens-lo-retina distance, which is measured by a sonar-like device, and by the requirement that the implant provide for correct distance vision. (a) If the distance from lens to retina is 22.4 mm, calculate the power of the implanted lens in diopters. (b) Since there is no accommodation and the implant allows for correct distance vision, a corrective lens for close work or reading must be used. Assume a reading distance of 33.0 cm, and calculate the power of the lens in the reading glasses.arrow_forwardWhy is your vision so blurry when you open your eyes while swimming under water? How does a face mask enable clear vision?arrow_forward
