Once dark adapted, the pupil of your eye is approximately 7 mm in diameter. The headlights of an oncoming car are 120 cm apart. If the lens of your eye is diffraction limited, at what distance are the two headlights marginally resolved? Assume a wavelength of 600 nm and that the index of refraction inside the eye is 1.33. (Your eye is not really good enough to resolve headlights at this distance, due both to aberrations in the lens and to the size of the receptors in your retina, but it comes reasonably close.)
A converging lens with a focal length of and a diverging lens with a focal length of are apart. A tall object is in front of the converging lens.
a. Use ray tracing to find the position and height of the image. Do this accurately using a ruler or paper with a grid, then make measurements on your diagram.
b. Calculate the image position and height. Compare with your ray-tracing answers in part a.
In FIGURE P, what are the position, height, and orientation of the final image? Give the position as a distance to the right or left of the lens.
Yang can focus on objects away with a relaxed eye. With full accommodation, she can focus on objects away. After her eyesight is corrected for distance vision, what will her near point be while wearing her glasses?
A narrow beam of white light is incident on a sheet of quartz. The beam disperses in the quartz, with red light traveling at an angle of with respect to the normal and violet light traveling at . The index of refraction of quartz for red light is . What is the index of refraction of quartz for violet light?
