A physicist's right eye is presbyopic (i.e., farsighted). This eye can see clearly only beyond a distance of 97 cm, which makes

it difficult for the physicist to read books and journals. Find the focal length and power of a lens that will correct this presbyopia for a reading distance of 25 cm, when worn 2 cm in front of the eye

Answer:

f = 19,877 cm   and  P = 5D

Explanation:

This is a lens focal length exercise, which must be solved with the optical constructor equation

        1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

where f is the focal length, p is the distance to the object and q is the distance to the image.

In this case the object is placed p = 25 cm from the eye, to be able to see it clearly the image must be at q = 97 cm from the eye

let's calculate

        1 / f = 1/97 + 1/25

        1 / f = 0.05

        f = 19,877 cm

the power of a lens is defined by the inverse of the focal length in meters

         P = 1 / f

         P = 1 / 19,877 10-2

         P = 5D

I’m not sure if its correct but I think it’s focal Ray point


For concave mirrors, some generalizations can be made to simplify ray construction. They are: An incident ray traveling parallel to the principal axis will reflect and pass through the focal point. An incident ray traveling through the focal point will reflect and travel parallel to the principal axis.
