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.

- please solve and answer the question correctly. Thank you!!arrow_forwardAssuming the normal angle for stairs in a house, 37.0˚ with the horizontal, what is Kevin’s acceleration down the stairs? The sled is always touching at least one stair so you can treat it the same as a ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the carpeted stairs is 0.708.arrow_forwardA helicopter pulls up and back on the truck with a force of 5.78⋅10^4 N at an angle of 30.0˚ from the horizontal. The truck has a mass of 5.04⋅10^3 kg. The truck’s engine applies a force on the truck that is in the x direction causing the truck to accelerate at 2.09 m/s2 in x. A) What is the force the engine is exerting? B) What is the normal force acting on the truck? Assume no acceleration in y.arrow_forward
- Mikasa and her allies, from Attack on Titan, uses omni-directional mobility gear (ODM gear) to move from place to place. The ODM gear launches out wires with grappling hooks they can use to swing through the city. Mikasa, who has a mass of 68.0 kg, holds herself in place not moving with two wires from the ODM gear, as shown below with θ1 = 39.3°. If the tension in the wire labeled T1 is 688 N, what tension, magnitude and direction, is needed in T2?arrow_forwardDoctor Strange’s cloak allows him to levitate, and glide forward. Dr. Strange’s cloak does this by applying a F at an angle of 70.0˚, A) What force must the cloak be exerting to keep a Dr. Strange at a set height, neither lowering nor rising? Dr. Strange has a weight of 147 lbs. (2.20 lb = 1 kg). B) When the force found in part A is applied, what is Dr. Strange’s acceleration?arrow_forwardplease solve and answer the question correctly.
