A person has far and near points of 84 cm and 15 cm, respectively. What is the percent change in the power of the person’s eyes when going from relaxed to accommodated vision? Take the lens-to-retina distance to be 2.0 cm.
At a distance of 6 meters, a person with average vision is able to clearly read letters 1.0 cm high. Approximately how large do the letters appear on the retina? (Assume that the retina is 1.7 cm from the lens.)
Calculate the distance from which a person with good vision can see the whites of another person’s eyes. Assume that the smallest resolvable angle for the human eye is 4.95 x 10-4 radians and that the size of the eye is 1 cm.
