Figure 34-47a shows the basic structure of the human eye. Light refracts into the eye through the cornea and is then further redirected by a lens whose shape (and thus ability to focus the light) is controlled by muscles. We can treat the cornea and eye lens as a single effective thin lens (Fig. 34-47b). A 鈥渘ormal鈥 eye can focus parallel light rays from a distant object O to a point on the retina at the back of the eye, where the processing of the visual information begins. As an object is brought close to the eye, however, the muscles must change the shape of the lens so that rays form an inverted real image on the retina (Fig. 34-47c). (a) Suppose that for the parallel rays of Figs. 34-47a and b, the focal length f鈥of the effective thin lens of the eye is 2.50 cm. For an object at distance p = 40 cm, what focal length f鈥 of the effective lens is required for the object to be seen clearly? (b) Must the eye muscles increase or decrease the radii of curvature of the eye lens to give focal length f鈥?

50 through 57 55, 57 53 Thin lenses. Object stands on the central axis of a thin symmetric lens. For this situation, each problem in Table 34-6 gives object distance p (centimeters), the type of lens (C stands for converging and D for diverging), and then the distance (centimeters, without proper sign) between a focal point and the lens. Find (a) the image distance and (b) the lateral magnification m of the object, including signs. Also, determine whether the image is (c) real or virtual , (d) inverted from object or non inverted , and (e) on the same side of the lens as object or on the opposite side.

A double-convex lens is to be made of glass with an index of refraction of .One surface is to have twice the radius of curvature of the other and the focal length is to be . What is the (a) smaller and (b) larger radius?
A glass sphere has radius r=-50 cmand index of refraction paperweight is constructed by slicing through the sphere along a plane that is 2.0 cmfrom the center of the sphere, leaving height p = h = 3.0 cm. The paperweight is placed on a table and viewed from directly above by an observer who is distance d=8.0 cmfrom the tabletop (Fig. 34-39). When viewed through the paperweight, how far away does the tabletop appear to be to the observer?

In Fig. 34-26, stick figure Ostands in front of a spherical mirrorthat is mounted within the boxed region;the central axis through themirror is shown. The four stick figures to suggest general locationsand orientations for the images that might be produced by themirror. (The figures are onlysketched in; neither their heightsnor their distances from the mirror are drawn to scale.) (a) Whichof the stick figures could not possibly represent images? Of thepossible images, (b) which would be due to a concave mirror, (c)which would be due to a convex mirror, (d) which would be virtual,and (e) which would involve negative magnification?
