If a nearsighted person has a far point df that is 3.50m from the eye, what is the focal length f1 of the contact lenses that th
e person would need to see an object at infinity clearly?
If a farsighted person has a near point that is 0.600m from the eye, what is the focal length f2 of the contact lenses that the person would need to be able to read a book held at 0.350m from the person's eyes?

1 answer:
Answer:
f1= -350cm or -3.5m
f2= 22.1cm or 0.221m
Explanation:
A person is nearsighted when the person's far point is less than infinity. A diverging lens is normally used to correct this eye defect. A diverging lens has a negative focal length as seen in the solution attached.
Farsightedness is when a person's near point is farther than 25cm. This eye defect is corrected using a converging lens. The focal length of a converging lens is positive. This is evident in the solution attached. The near point is also referred to as the least distance of distinct vision.

As we know that KE and PE is same at a given position
so we will have as a function of position given as
also the PE is given as function of position as
now it is given that
KE = PE
now we will have
so the position is 0.707 times of amplitude when KE and PE will be same
Part b)
KE of SHO at x = A/3
we can use the formula
now to find the fraction of kinetic energy
now since total energy is sum of KE and PE
so fraction of PE at the same position will be
