If the lens of a person’s eye is removed because of cataracts (as has been done since ancient times), why would you expect a spectacle lens of about 16 D to be prescribed?
Why would you expect a spectacle lens of about 16D to be prescribed?
Answer to Problem 1CQ
The power lens, in normal conditions, is between 50.0 D and 54.0 D, therefore, a prescription of 16.0 D for a spectacle lens is insufficient to correct the sight of a person whose lens has been removed.
Introduction:
Cataract is an anomaly that occurs in the eye, specifically in the lens's eye. This disease consists in the deterioration of the quality of the image produced by a total or partial opacity of the eye lens, causing the light to scatter inside the eye and not be able to focus on the retina.
Explanation:
If a person's lens is removed and a spectacle lens with a prescribed power of 16D is fitted in place, the patient's vision would be evenly blurred. In other words, a power lens of 16D would be insufficient to correct the patient's view knowing that in normal conditions the range of the power lens is between 50.0D (distant vision) and 54.0D (close vision)
Conclusion:
The power lens, in normal conditions, is between 50.0 D and 54.0 D, therefore, a prescription of 16.0 D for a spectacle lens is insufficient to correct the sight of a person whose lens has been removed.

The directions are shown relative to north: 0° is north, 90° is east, 180° is south, and 270° is west. Use the method of components to find (a) the distance she has to fly from Manhattan to get back to Lincoln, and (b) the direction (relative to north) she must fly to get there. Illustrate your solutions with a vector diagram.

- 3.19 • Win the Prize. In a carnival booth, you can win a stuffed gi- raffe if you toss a quarter into a small dish. The dish is on a shelf above the point where the quarter leaves your hand and is a horizontal dis- tance of 2.1 m from this point (Fig. E3.19). If you toss the coin with a velocity of 6.4 m/s at an angle of 60° above the horizontal, the coin will land in the dish. Ignore air resistance. (a) What is the height of the shelf above the point where the quarter leaves your hand? (b) What is the vertical component of the velocity of the quarter just before it lands in the dish?
