Consider a telescope of the type used by Galileo, having a convex objective and a concave eyepiece as illustrated in Figure 26.23(a). Construct a problem in which you calculate the location and size of the image produced. Among the things to be considered are the focal lengths of the lenses and their relative placements as well as the size and location of the object. Verify that the angular magnification is greater than one. That is, the angle subtended at the eye by the image is greater than the angle subtended by the object.
(a) During laser vision correction, a brief burst of 193nm ultraviolet light is projected onto the cornea of the patient. It makes a spot 1.00mm in diameter and deposits 0.500mJ of energy. Calculate the depth of the layer ablated, assuming the corneal tissue has the same properties as water and is initially at 34.00C. The tissue’s temperature is increased to 1000Cand evaporated without further temperature increase. (b) Does your answer imply that the shape of the cornea can be finely controlled?
How does the power of a dry contact lens compare with its power when resting on the tear layer of the eye? Explain.
The contact lens prescription for a mildly farsighted person is 0.750 D, and the person has a near point of 29.0 cm. What is the power of the tear layer between the cornea and the lens if the correction is ideal, taking the tear layer into account?
: A mother sees that her child’s contact lens prescription is 0.750 D. What is the child’s near point?
