Textbook Question
Chapter 28, Problem 52PCE
Predict/Explain (a) In principle, do your eyes have greater resolution on a dark cloudy day or on a bright sunny day? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:
- I. Your eyes have greater resolution on a cloudy day because your pupils are open wider to allow more light to enter the eye.
- II. Your eyes have greater resolution on a sunny day because the bright light causes your pupil to narrow down to a smaller opening.

Students have asked these similar questions
The resolving power of a refracting telescope increases with the diameter of the spherical objective lens. In
reality, it is impractical to increase the diameter of the objective lens beyond approximately 1 m. Why?
a. The resultant sagging of the mirror will cause spherical aberration.
O b. The resulting increase in light scattering from the surface of the objective lens will blur the image.
c. If the objective lens is too large, it is difficult to keep it clean.
d. The increasing size of the objective lens will cause chromatic aberration to grow worse than spherical
aberration.
O e. The spherical objective lens should be replaced by a paraboloidal objective lens beyond a 1-m
diameter.
QUESTION 9
In the process of accommodation:
O the lens changes shape to focus light waves from objects at different distances on the retina.
O the iris changes the size of the pupil to increase or decrease the amount of light entering the eye.
O the cornea changes shape to focus light waves from objects at different distances on the retina
the lens changes shape to increase or decrease the amount of light entering the eye.
I’ll try this again. Can someone please help direct me on where to start on the problem in the attached photo ? I know I need to integrate, I just don’t know exactly how to setup the problem. Thanks!

The light required for examination is conducted from an outside source along a long, flexible bundle of optical fibers to the tip, where it exits and illuminates the internal cavity. A lens on the lip collects an image of the lighted cavity and another fiber bundle conducts the image back along the endoscope to an eyepiece for viewing (Fig. P22.52). If each fiber in the bundle has diameter d = 1.00 104 m and refractive index n = 1.40, find the smallest outside radius R permitted for a bend in the fiber if no light is to escape.
