Chapter 26: Q25PE (page 956)
A boy has a near point of 50 cm and a far point of 500 cm. Will a –4.00 D lens correct his far point to infinity?
Short Answer
No, the lens is too strong for the boy thus it will not correct his vision.

A person with presbyopia has lost some or all of the ability to accommodate the power of the eye. If such a person’s distant vision is corrected with LASIK, will she still need reading glasses? Explain.
Unless otherwise stated, the lens-to-retina distance is 2.00 cm.
People who do very detailed work close up, such as jewellers, often can see objects clearly at much closer distance than the normal 25 cm.
(a) What is the power of the eyes of a woman who can see an object clearly at a distance of only 8.00 cm?
(b) What is the size of an image of an 1.00 mm object, such as lettering inside a ring, held at this distance?
(c) What would the size of the image be if the object were held at the normal 25.0 cm distance?
A very myopic man has a far point of 20.0 cm. What power contact lens (when on the eye) will correct his distant vision?
There are different types of color blindness related to the malfunction of different types of cones. Why would it be particularly useful to study those rare individuals who are color blind only in one eye or who have a different type of color blindness in each eye?
A microscope with an overall magnification of 800 has an objective that magnifies by 200.
(a) What is the magnification of the eyepiece?
(b) If there are two other objectives that can be used, having magnifications of 100 and 400, what other total magnifications are possible?
