The near point for your myopic uncle is 10 cm. Your own vision is normal; that is, your near point is 25 cm. Suppose you and your uncle hold dimes (which are 1.7 cm in diameter) at your respective near points.a. For you, what is the dime’s angular size, in radians?b. For your uncle, what is the dime’s angular size, in radians?c. Do these calculations suggest any benefit to nearsightedness?

1. Assume that pupillary distance between your two eyes is 63 mm. Write a calculator that determines the object distance based on the angle that an external point object distends between the pupils. Give the angle for objects at 30 cm, 1 m, and 10 m. Give your answers in degrees correct to 3 significant digits.
