- A 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_forwardWill the focal length of a lens change when it is submerged in water?

(b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:I. The focal length will increase because the water will causemore bending of light.II. Water will refract the light. This, combined with the reflection due to the mirror, will result in a decreased focal length.III. The focal length stays the same because it depends on thefact that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection for a mirror. This is unaffected by the presence of thewaterarrow_forward
