Contact lenses are placed right on the eyeball, so the distance from the eye to an object (or image) is the same as the distance from the lens to that object (or image). A certain person can see distant objects well, but his near point is 50.0 cm from his eyes instead of the usual 25.0 cm .

Answer #1

A) Far sighted

B) Converging lens

C) near point hyperopic eye is s1 = - 50 cm

   s = 25 cm

we determine the required focal length of the contact lens using the object image relation ship.

   1/f = 1/s + 1/s1

         = 1/ 25cm - 1/50cm

       f = + 50 cm

we need to converging focal length with f = 50 cm

D) the corresoponding power is

        p = 1/f

            = 1/0.5 m

            = + 2.0 diopters

Contact lenses are placed on the eyeball, so the distance from the eye to an object (or an image) is the same as the distance from the lens to the object (or the image). If a person can see distant objects well, but has a nearpoint of 53.0 cm instead of the usual 25.0 cm, what power of contact lenses are needed (in diopters)? The same person now wants to wear glasses instead; they are 1.90 cm in front of...

2. Correcting vision: quantitative. Corrective lenses work because the lens bends light such that it, combined with the eye itself, light forms a clear image on the retina. Another way to think about this is that the corrective lens (glasses) form an image of the object at a location where the eye can see clearly without corrective lenses. For a nearsighted person viewing an object very far away (object at infinity), the lens corrective lens creates an image at the...

The uncorrected eye. For the following questions, assume that the distance between the eye lens and the retina is 1.70 cm. In other words, since the image is always formed on the retina, the distance between the lens and the image is always 1.70 cm. Also note that, as is seen in the ray diagram, since the eye lens is converging and the image is on the opposite side of the lens compared to the object, the image is always...

Two lenses are placed a distance of 20.0 cm apart. The leftmost lens is a converging lens with a focal length of 10.0 cm while the seconds lens is a diverging lends with a focal length of 14.0. If an object is placed 9.0 cm to the left of the converging lens, determine the magnification of the two lenses combined.

A person is farsighted and has near point of 50 cm. Retina is at a distance L = 1.7 cm. When wearing contact lenses and reading a book 30 cm in front of the eye, what is the object distance for the lenses? What is the desired image distance? Is the magnitude of the image distance a minimum, maximum, or the only acceptable image distance? Find the focal length and refractive power of the contact lens that will fix this...

In order to see objects at different distances clearly, a person's eyes must be able to adjust the focal length of their lenses. If person can't achieve the full range of focal lengths, they will require corrective lenses to have "normal" vision. The corrective lenses in glasses usually sit about 2cm from a person's eyes. Part A: Someone who is nearsighted cannot see clear images of objects far away. One such person is unable to see things further than 5...

Two lenses are placed along the x axis, with a diverging lens of focal length −8.70 cm on the left and a converging lens of focal length 17.0 cm on the right. When an object is placed 14.0 cm to the left of the diverging lens, what should the separation s of the two lenses be if the final image is to be focused at x = ∞?

Two lenses are placed along the x axis, with a diverging lens of focal length −7.40 cm on the left and a converging lens of focal length 15.0 cm on the right. When an object is placed 14.0 cm to the left of the diverging lens, what should the separation s of the two lenses be if the final image is to be focused at x = ∞?
