A person is to be fitted with bifocals. She can see clearly when the object is between 30 cm and 1.5 m from the eye. (a) The upper portions of the bifocals (Fig. P25.16) should be designed to enable her to see distant objects clearly. What power should they have? (b) The lower portions of the bifocals should enable her to see objects located 25 cm in front of the eye. What power should they have?
In an alternate universe, you are a brilliant optician. A young Harry Potter comes to
you for a diagnosis. Alas, you find he has hyperopia. You measure his near point to be
1.5m from his eyes. Determine the power of the eyeglasses that will allow him to see
nearby objects up to 25cm from his eye clearly if the eyeglasses will be 0.9cm in front
of his eyes.
The man has a range of vision from 15 cm to 150 cm. What optical power of lenses should he wear at
distance of 3 cm from eyes to be able to clearly see the same objects as person with normal vision.

This instrument places an illuminated object of known size at a known distance p from the cornea, which then reflects some light from the object, forming an image of it. The magnification M of the image is measured by using a small viewing telescope that allows a comparison of the image formed by the cornea with a second calibrated image projected into the field of view by a prism arrangement.

- The human eye has a lot in common with a pinhole camera, being essentially a small box with a hole in the front (the pupil) and a detector at the back (the retina). The distance from the pupil to the retina is approximately 24 mm. Suppose you look at a 190-cm-tall friend who is standing 9.8 mm in front of you. Assuming your eye functions like a pinhole camera, what will be the height, in mm, of your friend’s image on your retina?arrow_forwardThe human eye has a lot in common with a pinhole camera, being essentially a small box with a hole in the front (the pupil) and a detector at the back (the retina).
