Darcy suffers from farsightedness equally severely in both eyes. The focal length of either of Darcy's eyes is 18.9 mm in its most accommodated state (i.e, when the eye is focusing on the closest object that it can clearly see) What lens strength (a.k.a., lens power) of contact lenses should be prescribed to correct the farsightedness in Darcy's eyes? When wearing her contact lenses, Darcy's corrected near point should be 25.025.0cm

If the screen is at the right position and the object is in a right position, the lens will focus the image of the object onto the screen. If the screen is anywhere else, the object will look blurry or won't be seen. The optical table has a meter-tape attached to the side, to give the position of the items. If the object is in a wrong position, the lens will defocus the light -- spread it out. That means that the screen can't be placed anywhere to display a focused image. If xL = 32.7 cm and the focal length is f = 20.8 cm, give a position (xO) that results in the light from the object spreading out. (There are infinitely many such positions.)
Assume that the near point of a hyperopic (farsighted) eye is 0.936 m in front of the eye. A lens is used to let the eye see clearly an object that is 0.250 m in front of the eye. Ignore the small distance from the lens to the eye. What is the power of the lens (in diopters; answer sign and magnitude)?
When a patient is being fitted with contact lenses, the curvature of the patient's cornea is measured with an instrument known as a keratometer. A lighted object is held near the eye, and keratometer measures the magnification of the image formed by the reflection from the front of the cornea. If an object is held 10.0cm in front of a patient's eye, and the reflected image is magnified by a factor of 0.035, what is the radius of curvature of the patient's cornea?
An object with a height of -0.040 m points below the principal axis (it is inverted) and is 0.200 m in front of a diverging lens. The focal length of the lens is -0.27 m. (Include the sign of the value in your answers.) (a) What is the magnification? (b) What is the image height? m (c) What is the image distance? m
A nearsighted person wears glasses to correct the problem. The lenses in the glasses have a focal length of -449 cm and are worn 2.0 cm from the eyes. With the glasses the person can see an object clearly that is very far away. How far from the eyes is the person's far point located?
Figure shows a simple version of a zoom lens. The converging lens has focal length f1 and the diverging lens has focal length f2 = -Ι f2Ι. The two lenses are separated by a variable distance d that is always less than f1. Also, the magnitude of the focal length of the diverging lens satisfies the inequalityΙ f2Ι7( f1 - d). To determine the effective focal length of the combination lens, consider a bundle of parallel rays of radius r0 entering the converging lens. (a) Show that the radius of the ray bundle decreases to r′ 0 = r0( f1 - d)/f1 at the point that it enters the diverging lens. (b) Show that the final image I′ is formed a distance s′ 2 =If2I( f1 - d)/(I f2I- f1 + d) to the right of the diverging lens. (c) If the rays that emerge from the diverging lens and reach the final image point are extended backward to the left of the diverging lens, they will eventually expand to the original radius r0 at some point Q. The distance from the final image I′ to the point Q is the…
One of the inevitable consequences of aging is a decrease in the flexibility of the lens. This leads to the farsighted condition called presbyopia (elder eye). Almost every aging human will experience it to some extent. However, for the myopic person, at some point, it is possible that far vision will be limited by a subpar far point and near vision will be hampered by an expanding near point. One solution is to wear bifocal lenses that are diverging in the upper half to correct the nearsightedness and converging in the lower half to correct the farsightedness. Suppose one such individual asks for your help. The patient complains that he can't see far enough to safely drive (his far point is 120 cm) and he can't read the font of his smart phone without holding it beyond arm's length (his near point is 81 cm)! Prescribe the bifocals that will correct the visual issues for your patient. 1)Calculate the power of the upper half of the bifocals. (Express your answer to three significant…

It is your first day at work as a summer intern at an optics company. Your supervisor hands you a diverging lens and asks you to measure its focal length. You know that with a converging lens, you can measure the focal length by placing an object a distance ss to the left of the lens, far enough from the lens for the image to be real, and viewing the image on a screen that is to the right of the lens. By adjusting the position of the screen until the image is in sharp focus, you can determine the image distance s′s′ and then use the equation 1s+1s′=1f1s+1s′=1f, to calculate the focal length ff of the lens. But this procedure won't work with a diverging lens−−by itself, a diverging lens produces only virtual images, which can't be projected onto a screen. Therefore, to determine the focal length of a diverging lens, you do the following: First you take a converging lens and measure that, for an object 20.0 cmcm to the left of the lens, the image is 29.7 cmcm to the right of the lens.…
A nearsighted person has a far point of 25.3cm and is prescribed contact lenses to correct her vision. What lens strength (a.k.a., lens power), in Diopters, should be prescribed? Give your answer using the usual convention of positive values for converging lenses and negative values for diverging lenses.
A relaxed emmetropic eye is seen as a thin lens (the crystalline lens) with a focal length f' = 17 mm in front of a screen. a) For near vision, the eye has to accommodate. What is the new focal length in order to be able to see at 25 cm (the near point)? In which way does the curvature of the crystalline vary? b) If the eye could not accommodate at all, what should be the focal length of the lens (glasses) that one should add in order to get a sharp image at this distance?
