1. Assume that pupillary distance between your two eyes is 63 mm. Write a calculator that determines the object distance based on the angle that an external point object distends between the pupils. Give the angle for objects at 30 cm, 1 m, and 10 m. Give your answers in degrees correct to 3 significant digits.
In sports photography, one often needs a long telephoto lens with a large aperture. As a
designer, you will work with engineers to design some new lens.“

O smallest object that we can process with our eyes is limited to the size of the photoreceptor cells in the retina. In order for us to to distinguish any detail in an object, its image cannot be smaller cannot be smaller than a single retinal cell. Although the size depends on the type of cell (cone or rod), a diameter of of a few microns (mm) is common near the center of the eye. We should model the eye as a sphere 2.50 cm in diameter with a single slender lens in front and the retina behind, with photoreceptor cells 5.0 mm in diameter. (a) What is the smallest object object that you can perceive at a point near 25 cm? What angle is subtended by this object in 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, but we will ignore them here).arrow_forward
