You and your roommate decide to install a 1200 lumen incandescent bulb in a simple light socket hanging directly in the center of the dorm room, with no diffuser or reflector. The bulb filament is exactly 2 feet from the ceiling. The walls and ceiling are all painted in a very dark color. Compute the illuminance falling on the exact center of the top of your dorm desk.

Calculate the power at the eye when viewing an object 3.00 m away.
Suppose a certain person’s visual acuity is such that he can see objects clearly that term an image 4.00 m high on his retina. What is the maximum distance at which he can read the 75.0 cm high letters on the side of an airplane?
Suppose a man stands in front of a mm-or as show below. His eyes are 1.65 m above the floor and the top of his head is 0.13 m higher. Find the height above the floor of the top and bottom of the smallest minor in which he can see both the top of his head and his feet. How is this distance related to the man’s height?
The accommodation limits for a nearsighted persons eyes are 18.0 cm and 80.0 cm. When he wears his glasses, he can see faraway objects clearly. At what minimum distance is he able to see objects clearly?
Your camera's zoom lens has an adjustable focal leng1h ranging from 80.0 to 200 mm. What is its range of powers?
A camera lens used for taking close-up photographs has a focal length of 22.0 mm. The farthest it can be placed from the film is 33.0 mm. (a) What is the closest object that can be photographed? (b) What is the magnification of this closest object?
Suppose a certain person’s visual acuity is such that he can see objects clearly that form an image 4.00mhigh on his retina. What is the maximum distance at which he can read the 75.0-cm-high letters on the side of an airplane?
When you focus a camera, you adjust the distance of the lens from the film. It the camera lens acts like a thin lens, why can it not be a fixed distance from the film for both near and distant objects?
(Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically involve integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.) . Of the three converging lenses shown in Figure 9.44, which would you expect to have the shortest focal length? Why?
Some telephoto cameras use a mirror rather than a lens. What radius of curvature mirror is needed to replace a 800 mm focal length telephoto lens?
. (a) In a camera equipped with a 50-mm focal-length lens, the maximum distance that the lens can be from the film is 60 mm. What is the smallest distance an object can be from the camera if its image on the film is to be in focus? What is the magnification? (b) An extension tube is added between the lens and the camera body so that the lens can be positioned 100 mm from film. How close can the object be now? What is the magnification?
