A photographer focuses his camera on his subject. The subject then moves closer to the camera. To refocus, should the lens be moved closer to or farther from the detector? Explain.
Design an eye for a(n) using a concave spherical mirror such that the image of an object 1.0 m tall and 10 m away fully fills its 1.0-cm square photosensitive detector (which is movable for focusing purposes). Where should this detector be located with respect to the mirror? What should be the focal length of the mirror? Draw a ray diagram.
Problem 99.
A) How is a good single-lens camera (one that can be "focused") able to take clear pictures of objects that are a variety
of distances from the camera?
B) How is the eye able to place clear images on the retina of objects that are a variety of distances from the eye?
C) For a fixed focus camera to take clear pictures, the object distance must satisfy a certain inequality. What is this
inequality?
D) Why does the nearpoint increase as people age?

- Endoscopes are medical instruments used to examine the gastrointestinal tract and other cavities inside the body. The light required for examination is conducted from an outside source along a long, flexible bundle of optical fibers to the tip, where it exits and illuminates the internal cavity. A lens on the lip collects an image of the lighted cavity and another fiber bundle conducts the image back along the endoscope to an eyepiece for viewing (Fig. P22.52). If each fiber in the bundle has diameter d = 1.00 104 m and refractive index n = 1.40, find the smallest outside radius R permitted for a bend in the fiber if no light is to escape.
