(a) Where is the near point of an eye for which a contact lens with a power of +2.75 diopters is prescribed? (b) Where is the far point of an eye for which a contact lens with a power of -1.30 diopters is prescribed for distant vision?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) the near point of the eyes without lens is 80 cm .

b) the far point of the eyes without lens is 77cm .

Step by step solution

01

Basic definition

Thin Lens formula:

1u+1v=1f

Here,

u = Object distance from lens

v = Image distance from lens

f = Focal length of the lens

Sign Convention:

  1. Object Distance (u): (+) in front of lens; (-) in the back of lens
  2. Image Distance (v): (-) in front of lens; (+) in the back of lens
  3. Focal Length (f): (+) for convergent (convex) lens; (-) for divergent (concave) lens

Power of a lens is defined as the reciprocal of its focal length. Thus, converging or convex lens have positive powers and diverging or concave lens have negative powers.

02

Near point of the eye

Focal length of lens,

⇒Power,p=1focallength,f⇒f=1P=100+2.75cm=36.36cm

Object distance, u = +25.0 cm (Near point of eyes with lens)

By using lens formula

⇒1u+1v=1f⇒1+25+1v=136.36⇒1v=1+36.36-1+25⇒1v1=25-36.3636.36*25⇒v=-80cm

Therefore, the near point of the eyes without lens is 80 cm

03

Far point of the eye

Focal length of lens,

⇒Power,P=1Focallength,f⇒f=1P=100-1.30cm=-77cm

Object distance,u=∞ (Far point of eyes with lens)

By using lens formula

⇒1u+1v=1f⇒1∞+1v=1-77⇒1v=1-77-1∞⇒v=-77cm

Therefore, the far point of the eyes without lens is 77cm .

Explain why the focal length of a plane mirror is infinite, and explain what it means for the focal point to be at infinity.

A Spherical Fish Bowl. A small tropical fish is at the centre of a water-filled, spherical fish bowl 28.0 cm in diameter.
(a) Find the apparent position and magnification of the fish to an observer outside the bowl. The effect of the thin walls of the bowl may be ignored. (b) A friend advised the owner of the bowl to keep it out of direct sunlight to avoid blinding the fish, which might swim into the focal point of the parallel rays from the sun. Is the focal point actually within the bowl?

Figure 31.12 (Section 31.2) shows a loudspeaker system. Low-frequency sounds are produced by the woofer, which is a speaker with a large diameter; the tweeter, a speaker with a smaller diameter, produces high-frequency sounds. Use diffraction ideas to explain why the tweeter is more effective for distributing high-frequency sounds uniformly over a room than is the woofer.

Information is stored on an audio compact disc, CD-ROM, or DVD disc in a series of pits on the disc. These pits are scanned by a laser beam. An important limitation on the amount of information that can be stored on such a disc is the width of the laser beam. Explain why this should be, and explain how using a shorter wavelength laser allows more information to be stored on a disc of the same size.
