Answer:
1.0 dioptres
Explanation:
Farsightedness is an eye defect in which a person can see far objects clearly but not near objects. That implies that the patients' near point is farther than 25cm which is the normal least distance of distinct vision.
Farsightedness results from the eyeball being too long or the crystalline lens not being sufficiently converging.
Carol is farsighted with a near point of about a meter (100cm). We desire to make a lens to enable her near point be reduced to about 50cm. The focal length and power of this lens is calculated in the image attached.
The power of a lens is the inverse of its focal length in meters hence the 100 in the formula for power of the lens.
Answer:
a) Yes
b) No
Explanation:
In the first case, part a, yes we can say for certainty that cylinderical symmetry holds. Why so? You may ask. This is because from the question, we are told that the length of the rod is 300 cm. And this said length is longer than the distance to the point from the center of the rod, which is 5 cm.
In the second half of the question, I beg to disagree that cylindrical symmetry holds. Again, you may ask why, this is because the length of the rod in this case, is having the same order of magnitude as the distance to the center of the rod. Thus, it is not symmetrical.
