Concept explainers
Correct treatment for a given condition.
Answer to Problem 1OQ
Option (b)
Explanation of Solution
When human eyes are larger than normal, the image is not formed in retina. Image is formed before retina which leads to near sightedness. Eyes cannot focus distant objects. So a diverging lens is used to make the image to fall on the retina.
Conclusion:
Option (a) and (c) are incorrect because the image is formed before retina.
Option (b) is correct because the problem is myopia and a diverging lens is used to focus image on retina.
Option (d) is incorrect because, converging lens is used for farsightedness.
As option (b) is correct, option (e)is incorrect.

- It has become common to replace the cataract-clouded lens of the eye with an internal lens. This intraocular lens can be chosen so that the person has perfect distant vision. Will the person be able to read without glasses? If the person was nearsighted, is the power of the intraocular lens greater or less than the removed lens?arrow_forwardThe left face of a biconvex lens has a radius of curvature of magnitude 12.0 cm, and the right face has a radius of curvature of magnitude 18.0 cm. The index of refraction of the glass is 1.44. (a) Calculate the focal length of the lens for light incident from the left. (b) What If? After the lens is turned around to interchange the radii of curvature of the two faces, calculate the focal length of the lens for light incident from the left.arrow_forwardWhat will be the formula for the angular magnification of a convex lens of focal length f if the eye is very close to the lens and the near point is located a distance D from the eye?arrow_forward
- A converging lens made of crown glass has a focal length of 15.0 cm when used in air. If the lens is immersed in water, what is its focal length? (a) negative (b) less than 15.0 cm (c) equal to 15.0 cm (d) greater than 15.0 cm (e) none of those answersarrow_forwardA lamp of height S cm is placed 40 cm in front of a converging lens of focal length 20 cm. There is a plane mirror 15 cm behind the lens. Where would you find the image when you look in the mirror?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
- If the lens of a person’s eye is removed because of cataracts (as has been done since ancient times), why would you expect an eyeglass lens of about 16 D to be prescribed?arrow_forwardAu object of height 3.0 cm is placed at 25 cm in front of a diverging lens of focal length 20 cm. Behind the diverging lens, there is a converging lens of focal length 20 cm. The distance between the lenses is 5.0 cm. Fluid the location and size of the final image.arrow_forwardA convex mirror with a radius of curvature of 25.0 cm is used to form an image of an arrow that is 10.0 cm away from the mirror. If the arrow is 2.00 cm tall and inverted (pointing below the optical axis), what is the height of the arrows image?arrow_forward
- For a normal, relaxed eye, a magnifying glass produces an angular magnification of 4.0. What is the largest magnification possible with this magnifying glass?arrow_forwardTwo converging lenses having focal length of f1 = 10.0 cm and f2 = 20.0 cm are placed d = 50.0 cm apart, as shown in Figure P23.44. The final image is to be located between the lenses, at the position x = 31.0 cm indicated. (a) How far to the left of the first lens should the object be positioned? (b) What is the overall magnification of the system? (c) Is the final image uptight or inserted? Figure P23.44arrow_forwardFigure P38.43 shows a concave meniscus lens. If |r1| = 8.50 cm and |r2| = 6.50 cm, find the focal length and determine whether the lens is converging or diverging. The lens is made of glass with index of refraction n = 1.55. CHECK and THINK: How do your answers change if the object is placed on the right side of the lens? FIGURE P38.43arrow_forward
