Concept explainers
CE BIO Predict/Explain Treating Cataracts When the lens in a person’s eye becomes clouded by a cataract, the lens can be removed with a process called phacoemulsification and replaced with a man-made intraocular lens The intraocular lens restores clear vision, but its focal length cannot be changed to allow the user to focus at different distances. In most cases the intraocular lens is adjusted for viewing of distant objects and corrective glasses are worn when viewing nearby objects, (a) Should the refractive power of the corrective glasses be positive or negative? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following
- I. The refractive power should be positive—converging—because the intraocular lens will make the person farsighted.
- II. A negative refractive power is required to bring the local point of the intraocular lens in from infinity to a finite value.

- To fit a contact lens to a patient's eye, a keratometer can be used to measure the curvature of the corneathe front surface of the eye. This instrument places an illuminated object of known .size at a known distance p from the cornea, which then reflects some light from the object, forming an image of it The magnification M of the image is measured by using a small viewing telescope that allows a comparison of the image formed by the cornea with a second calibrated image projected into the field of view by a prism arrangement. Determine the radius of curvature of the cornea when p = 30.0 cm and M = 0.013 0.arrow_forwardA jewelers lens of focal length 5.0 cm is used as a magnifier. With the lens held near the eye, determine (a) the angular magnification when the object is at the focal point of the lens and (b) the angular magnification when the image formed by the lens is at the near point of the eye (25 cm). (c) What is the object distance giving the maximum magnification?arrow_forwardCASE STUDY A group of students is given two converging lenses. Lens A has a focal length of 12.5 cm. and lens B has a focal length of 50.0 cm. The diameter of each lens is 6.50 cm. The students are asked to construct a telescope from these lenses if possible, and they have this discussion: Avi: To make a telescope, we pick lens B to be the objective and lens A to be the eyepiece. Lens B has the greater focal length, so it has to be the objective. Cameron: Both lenses have the same diameter6.50 cm. It doesnt matter which is the objective. Shannon: It does matter because the magnification depends on their relative focal lengths. We still want to get the best magnification. a. What do you think? b. If a telescope can be constructed from these two lenses, describe its design. What are its LGP and angular magnification? Compare the LGP to the value for your fully open pupil.arrow_forward
- A particular nearsighted patient cant see objects clearly beyond 15.0 cm from their eye. Determine (a) the lens power required to correct the patients vision and (b) the type of lens required (converging or diverging). Neglect the distance between the eye and the corrective lens.arrow_forwardA person with a nearsighted eye has near and far points of 16 cm and 25 cm, respectively. (a) Assuming a lens is placed 2.0 cm from the eye, what power must the lens have to correct this condition? (b) Suppose contact lenses placed directly on the cornea are used to correct the person's eyesight. What is the power of the lens required in this case, and what is the new near point? Hint: The contact lens and the eyeglass lens require slightly different powers because they are at different distances from the eye.arrow_forwardWhy is your vision so blurry when you open your eyes while swimming under water? How does a face mask enable clear vision?arrow_forward
- A converging lens in a vertical plane receives light from an object and forms an inverted image on a screen. An opaque card is then placed next to the lens, covering only the upper half of the lens. What happens to the image on the screen? (a) The upper half of the image disappears. (b) The lower half of the image disappears. (c) 'The entire image disappears, (d) The entire image is still visible, but is dimmer. (e) No change in the image occurs.arrow_forwardAndy decides to use an old pair of eyeglasses to make some optical instruments. He knows that the near point in his left eye is 50.0 cm and the near point in his right eve is 100 cm. (a) What is the maximum angular magnification he can produce in a telescope? (b) If he places the lenses 10.0 cm apart, what is the maximum overall magnification he can produce in a microscope? Hint: Go back to basics and use the thin lens equation to solve part (b).arrow_forwardIf 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?arrow_forward
- Some telephoto cameras use a mirror rather than a lens. What radius of curvature mirror is needed to replace a 800 mm focal length telephoto lens?arrow_forwardIt has become common to replace the cataract-clouded lens of the eye with an internal lens. This intraocular lens can be chosen so that the person has perfect distant vision. Will the person be able to read without glasses? If the person was nearsighted, is the power of the intraocular lens greater or less than the removed lens?arrow_forwardA converging lens has a focal length of 10.0 cm. Locate the object if a real image is located at a distance from the lens of (a) 20.0 cm and (b) 50.0 cm. What If? Redo the calculations if the images are virtual and located at a distance from the lens of (c) 20.0 cm and (d) 50.0 cm.arrow_forward
