Your myopic eye cannot focus on objects that are more than 16.5 cm away or closer than 4.5 cm. When you put on glasses for normal distant vision, your new near point is
lens formula
1/f = 1/p +1/q
1/f = 1/∞ + 1/16.5
f = 16.5 cm
so focal length f = 16.5 cm
again using same lens formula
1/ q = 1/f -1/p
1/q = 1/16.5 -1/4.5
q = -6.18 cm answer
minus sign means image is same side of the lens

5. A far-sighted person cannot focus on objects closer than 80 cm away, compared to the typical near point of 25 cm. If she wears eyeglasses 2 cm from her eyes, are they converging or diverging? What is their strength in diopters (m1)?
Background information A person with normal vision can focus on objects as close as a few centimeters from the eye up to objects infinitely far away. There exist, however, certain conditions under which the range of vision is not so extended. For example, a nearsighted person cannot focus on objects farther than a certain point (the far point), while a farsighted person cannot focus on objects closer than a certain point (the near point). Note that even though the presence...
With a near point of 12.0 cm, a nearsighted technician can focus on relatively nearby objects. Yet, with a far point 58.0 cm out, he cannot clearly see distant objects without optical aid. (a) Calculate the focal length (in cm) of a contact lens that would enable this technician to clearly view very distant objects. (Hint: Allow p to approach infinity in the thin-lens equation). (b) What power (in diopters) describes this contact lens? (c) When this contact lens is...
With a near point of 15.0 cm, a nearsighted professor can focus on relatively nearby objects. Yet, with a far point 62.0 cm out, he cannot clearly see distant objects without optical ald. (a) Calculate the focal length (in cm) of a contact lens that would enable this professor to clearly view very distant objects. (Hint: Allow p to approach Infinity in the thin-lens equation). (b) What power (in diopters) describes this contact lens? diopters (c) When this contact lens...
Your nearsighted instructor cannot focus clearly on objects more distant than 150 cm from her eyes. What power lenses are required for her to see distant students clearly?
With his right eye a nearsighted person cannot see clearly objects more than 1.2 m away. (a) What kind of vision defect has the patient? (b) What should be the type of the lens to correct this eye? (c) Determine the optical power and focal length of the lens
1. The print in many books averages 3.50 mm in height. How high is the image of the print on the retina when the book is held 30.0 cm from the eye? 2. A very myopic person has a far point of 20.0 cm. What power contact lens (when on the eye) will correct the distant vision? Assume the eyeglasses held 1.50 cm from the eyes. 3. A farsighted person has a near point of 50 cm rather than the normal 25...
4)Aseverely nearsighted person needs corective lenses. In one eye, this person can focus on objects over a range from as close as 15.8cm to as far away as 69.1cm. A) What strength (in diopters) contact lens would correct the vision in this eye? B) If instead of contact lenses, this person were to get glasses, the lenses of the glasses will sit a distance of 1.9 cm from the person's eye. What strength lens (in diopters) would be needed for...
An optometrist determines that a patient cannot clearly see any object that lies closer than 67.6 cm to the patient's eye. (a) Which of the following terms best describes this distance? Focal length, Near point, Far point, Magnification b)The patient needs to be able to clearly see objects that are just 23.0 cm distant. A contact lens is called for. What focal length (in cm) should this lens have? Assume the lens can be modeled as an ideal thin lens,...
Sometimes a person cannot clearly see objects close up or far away. To correct this type of vision, bifocals are often used. The top half of the lens is used to view distant objects and the bottom half of the lens is used to view objects close to the eye. A person can clearly see objects only if they are located between 44 cm and 194 cm away from his eyes. Bifocal lenses are used to correct his vision. What...
