  1. The crystalline lens of the human eye is a double-convex lens made of material having an index of refraction of 1.46. We shall assume that the radii of curvature of its two surfaces have the same magnitude. Assume the lens is embedded in a fluid having refractive index similar to air.
  1. If the radii of curvature of this lens is 7.82mm, what is its focal length?
  2. If an object 10.0 mm tall is placed 17.0 mm from the eye lens, where would the lens focus it?
  3. How tall (in cm) would the image be?
  4. Describe the nature and orientation of the image

The cornea behaves as a thin lens of focal length approximately 1.80 cm , although this varies a bit. The material of which it is made has an index of refraction of 1.38, and its front surface is convex, with a radius of curvature of 5.00 mm . (Note: The results obtained here are not strictly accurate, because, on one side, the cornea has a fluid with a refractive index different from that of air.) Part A: If this focal...

The physical properties of the relaxed eye are: distance from front surface of cornea to front surface of the lens: 3.6 mm, thickness of lens: 3.6 mm, cornea (r1): 8 mm, anterior surface of lens (r2):10.0 mm, posterior surface of lens (r3): 6.0 mm. The refractive index of aqueous and vitreous humor and lens are 1.34 and 1.41, respectively. With these properties, the distance from the cornea to the retina is 25 mm and an object infinitely far away is...

The pupil (the opening through which light enters the lens) of a house cat's eye is round under low light but ciliary muscles narrow it to a thin vertical slit in very bright light. Assume that bright light of wavelength 560 nm is entering the eye parallel to the principal axis of the lens and that the pupil has narrowed to a slit that is 0.500 mm wide. What are the three smallest angles on either side to the central...
