What is the power P of the eye when viewing an object 61.0 cm away? Assume the lens-to-retina distance is 2.00 cm , and express the answer in diopters.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The power of the eye is 51.64 diopters

Explanation:

The power of the eye is given by;

[tex]P = \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{d_o} +\frac{1}{d_i}[/tex]

where;

P is the power of the eye in diopter

f is the focal length of the eye

[tex]d_o[/tex] is the distance between the eye and the object

[tex]d_i[/tex] is the distance between the eye and the image

Given;

[tex]d_o[/tex] = 61.0 cm = 0.61 m

[tex]d_i[/tex] = 2.0 cm = 0.02 m

[tex]P = \frac{1}{d_o} +\frac{1}{d_i} \\\\P = \frac{1}{0.61} + \frac{1}{0.02} \\\\P = 51.64 \ D[/tex]

Therefore, the power of the eye is 51.64 diopters.

The power P of the eye when viewing an object 61.0 cm away is 51.639D

The power of a lens is a reciprocal of its focal length and it is expressed as:

[tex]P=\frac{1}{f}[/tex]

According to the mirror formula

[tex]\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{d_i} +\frac{1}{d_0}[/tex]

where

[tex]d_i[/tex] is the distance from the lens to the image = 61.0cm = 0.61m

[tex]d_0[/tex] is the distance from the lens to the object = 2.00cm = 0.02m

[tex]P=\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{0.02} +\frac{1}{0.61}\\P=50+1.639\\P=51.639D[/tex]

Hence the power P of the eye when viewing an object 61.0 cm away is 51.639D
