The cornea of the eye has a radius of curvature of approximately 0.40 cm , and the aqueous humor behind it has an index of refra

ction of 1.35. The thickness of the cornea itself is small enough that we shall neglect it. The depth of a typical human eye is around 25.0 mm.What would have to be the radius of curvature of the cornea so that it alone would focus the image of a distant mountain on the retina, which is at the back of the eye opposite the cornea?

Answer:

0.64814 cm

Explanation:

n_1 = Refractive index of air = 1

n_2 = Refractive index of aqueous humor = 1.35

u = Object distance = \infty

v = Image distance = 25 mm

R = Radius of curvature of the cornea

Lens equation

\dfrac{n_2-n_1}{R}=\dfrac{n_1}{u}+\dfrac{n_2}{v}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1.35-1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{\infty}+\dfrac{1.35}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1.35-1}{R}=\dfrac{1.35}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{0.35}{R}=\dfrac{1.35}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{0.35\times 2.5}{1.35}\\\Rightarrow R=0.64814\ cm

Radius of curvature of the cornea is 0.64814 cm

Which statement is true about vectors?
lora16 [44]

Vectors need direction and magnitude to exist, otherwise, it becomes scalars that do not require direction to be expressed.

eg - Velocity is a vector as it needs direction, but speed is scalar and does not need direction

hope this helps

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

1. t = 3.27 seconds

2. y = 147.3 m

Explanation:

Newton's Laws of Motions.

y = v₁t + 1/2 at²

a = (v₂-v₁)/t

where

y = the vertical distance travelled

v₁ = the initial velocity

v₂ = the final velocity

t = the time

a = the acceleration

final velocity is equal to 0.

So, v₂ = 0.

a = (v₂-v₁)/t

a = (0-30)/t

a = -30/t

plugin values into the first equation:

y = v₁t + 1/2 at²

49 = 30t + 1/2 (-30/t)t²

49 = 30t -15t

49 = 15 t

t = 49/15

t = 3.27 seconds

2.

y = v₁t + 1/2 at²

a = -30/3.27

a = 9.2

y = 30(3.27) + 1/2(9.2) 3.27²

y = 147.3 m
