- The smallest object we can resolve with our eye is limited by the size of the light receptor cells in the retina. In order for us to distinguish any detail in an object, its image cannot be any smaller than a single retinal cell. Although the size depends on the type of cell (rod or cone), a diameter of a few microns (μm) is typical near the center of the eye. We shall model the eye as a sphere 2.50 cm in diameter with a single thin lens at the front and the retina at the rear, with light receptor cells 5.0 μm in diameter. (a) What is the smallest object you can resolve at a near point of 25 cm? (b) What angle is subtended by this object at the eye? Express your answer in units of minutes (1°=60 min), and compare it with the typical experimental value of about 1.0 min. (Note: There are other limitations, such as the bending of light as it passes through the pupil, but we shall ignore them here.)arrow_forwardthin lenses: a convex and a concave lenses. One goal of this system is to obtain an image that is larger than what a single convex lens would yield of a distant object. Such lens system is common in photography. The focal lengths of both lenses are 5 cm and they are 4 cm apart. n=1 n= 1 n=1l 4 cm (a) Find the ABCD matrix of the telephoto lens system shown in the above figure. (b) Find the locations of the first and second principle planes of the system. (c) Find the effective focal length, front focal length, and back focal length. (d) Consider an object (with a height of 5 cm) located at 36 cm away (to the left) from the first convex lens, find the location and the magnification of the image. (e) Draw a ray diagram to show how the image is formed. (N.B. remember to specify all the cardinal points). (f) Comparing (d) with the case of only having a convex lens (same convex lens in the figure). What is the magnification of the image when using this convex lens alone?arrow_forwardQ1: At a resection point P, the following horizontal angles were observed to three control points L, M and N: LP'N=112°15'03" NP M = 126°42'41" MP L= 121°02' 19" The coordinates of L, M and N are E (m) N (m) L 500 600.528 M 610.076 400.187 N 700.004 640.132 Calculate the coordinates of point P.

P h AI C | I B h' Q | k V 9 Р The magnification equation and the sign convention for q imply that real images of real objects are always inverted (if both p and q are positive, m is negative); virtual images of real objects are always upright (if p is positive and q is negative, m is positive). Keeping the signs of p and q straight in your mind is the most challenging aspect of mirrors (and lenses). Fortunately, table 23.2 summarizes when p and q are positive and when they are negative.arrow_forwardA student is trying to remember some formulas from geometry.

Find the magnitude of the approximate size of each image (coin ℎI,coin and friend ℎI,friend) on her retina.
