Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 42RQ
The relationship between focal length (F) of a lens, object distance (P), and image distance or focal point (Q) is 1/F = 1/P + 1/Q. Assume the distance from lens to retina is 20 mm.
- (a) For a distant object, P = infinity (∞) and 1/∞ = 0. If Pavi sees a distant object in focus, what is the focal length of her lens in meters?
- (b) If the object moves to 1 foot in front of Pavi’s lens and the lens does not change shape, what is the image distance (1 in. = 2.54 cm)? What must happen to Pavi’s lens for the closer image to come into focus?
