A small tropical fish is at the center of a water-filled, spherical fish bowl 28.0 cm in diameter. (a) Find the apparent position and magnification of the fish to an observer outside the bowl. The effect of the thin walls of the bowl may be ignored. (b) A friend advised the owner of the bowl to keep it out of direct sunlight to avoid blinding the fish, which might swim into the focal point of the parallel rays from the sun. Is the focal point actually within the bowl?

An object measures 4cm high above the axis of an optical system consisting of a 2-cm aperture stop and a thin convex lens of 6-cm focal length and 5-cm aperture. The object is 14 cm in front of the lens and the stop is 2.50cm behind the lens. Determine the position and size of the entrance and exit pupils, as well as the image. Sketch the chief ray and the two extreme rays through the optical system, from the top of the object to its conjugate image point.

A little fish of 1 cm of height is at the center of a spheric fishbowl with diameter of 20 cm filled with water (n=1.33). The material of the sphere is so thin that its effects of refraction can be neglected. A thick equiconvex lens with thickness 2 cm and radii of curvature of 15cm and refraction index of 1.5 is located with its first vertex at a distance of 50cm of the center of the bowl. What is the position on the optic axis of the image of the fish? What is the size of the image

Consider a patient who had laser vision correction that reduced the power of her eye by 5.5 D, producing normal distant vision for her. Δ P = 5.5 D What was the previous far point of a patient in meters? The power for normal far vision is 50.0 D. The distance of the image formation in the eye is 2.00 cm. FP =
To fit a contact lens to a patient's eye, a keratometer can be used to measure the curvature of the cornea-the front surface of the eye. 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. Determine the radius of curvature of the cornea whenp = 28.0 cm and M = 0.0140.
