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.“

iris diameter. Round your answer to the nearest integer and state its unit. “
|(ii) Suppose you want to have a 700mm lens with a surface area of 12271.8463mm².
Calculate the f-number. Correct your answer to 2_decimal places.
Your glasses allow you to comfortably see objects that are very far away. What is the foal length of your glasses be if they are worn 2.24 cm from your eyes and your far point is 5.27 m? Please give your answer in meters.

- The smallest object we can resolve with our eye is limited by the size of the light receptor cells in the retina. In order for us to distinguish any detail in an object, its image cannot be any smaller than a single retinal cell. Although the size depends on the type of cell (rod or cone), a diameter of a few microns (μm) is typical near the center of the eye. We shall model the eye as a sphere 2.50 cm in diameter with a single thin lens at the front and the retina at the rear, with light receptor cells 5.0 μm in diameter. (a) What is the smallest object you can resolve at a near point of 25 cm? (b) What angle is subtended by this object at 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.
