Yang can focus on objects 150cm away with a relaxed eye. With full accommodation, she can focus on objects 20cmaway. After her eyesight is corrected for distance vision, what will her near point be while wearing her glasses?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Near point be while wearing her glasses is S=23.07cm.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information.

We need to find out yang's near point while wearing glasses after her sight is corrected for distance vision.

02

Simplify 

As we know the value of:

f=150cm.

As we can conclude that the yang nearsighted. With glasses and wears a virtual image focused to her far point, 1f=1-150+1and also given the focal length of -150cm.

We know the image has a form at 20cmaway for her to see clearly, and using that image to distance to calculate a new near point and also we can follow the way:

S=(-150)(-20)(-20)-(-150)S=3000130S=23.07cm.

Here,Sis the near point.

White light is incident onto a 30°prism at the 40°angleshown in Figure p35.41. Violet light emerges perpendicular to the rear face of the prism. The index of refraction of violet light in this glass is 20%larger than the index of refraction of red light. At what angleϕdoes red light emerges from the rear face?

A microscope has a 20cmtube length. What focal-length objective will give total magnification localid="1649845070556" 500×when used with an eyepiece having a focal length 5.0cm?

A 2.0mtall man is 10min front of a camera with a 15mmfocal length lens. How tall is his image on the detector?

Alpha Centauri, the nearest star to our solar system is 4.3light years away. assume that alpha centauri has a planet with an advanced civilization. professor Dhg, at the planet's Astronomical Institute, wants to build a telescope with which he can find out whether any planets are orbiting our sun.

(a). What is the minimum diameter for an objectives lens that will just barely resolve Jupiter and the sun? The radius of Jupiter's orbit is 780millionkm.Assume λ=600nm.

(b). Building a telescope of the necessary size does not appear to be a major problem. What practical difficulties might prevent professor Dhg's experiment from succeeding?

A hydrogen discharge lamp emits light with two prominent wavelengths: 656nm(red) and 486nm(blue). The light enters

a flint-glass prism perpendicular to one face and then refracts

through the hypotenuse back into the air. The angle between

these two faces is 35°.

a. Use Figure 35.18to estimate to ±0.002the index of refraction

of flint glass at these two wavelengths.

b. What is the angle (in degrees) between the red and blue light

as it leaves the prism?
