A person with a near point of 85 cm, but excellent distant vision, normally wears corrective glasses. But he loses them while tr

aveling. Fortunately, he has his old pair as a spare.
(a) If the lenses of the old pair have a power of +2.25 diopters, what is his near point (measured from his eye) when he is wearing the old glasses if they rest 2.0 cm in front of his eye?
(b) What would his near point be if his old glasses were contact lenses instead?

Answer:

a)   p = 95.66 cm, b) p = 93.13 cm

Explanation:

For this problem we use the  constructor equation

         \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

where f is the focal length, p and q are the distances to the object and the image, respectively

the power of the lens is

         P = 1 / f

         f = 1 / P

         f = 1 / 2.25

         f = 0.4444 m

the distance to the object is

         \frac{1}{p} = \frac{1}{f} -\frac{1}{q}

the distance to the image is

          q = 85 -2

           q = 83 cm

we must have all the magnitudes in the same units

           f = 0.4444 m = 44.44 cm

we calculate

           \frac{1}{p} = \frac{1}{44.44} - \frac{1}{83}

           1 / p = 0.010454

            p = 95.66 cm

b) if they were contact lenses

            q = 85 cm

            \frac{1}{p} = \frac{1}{44.44} - \frac{1}{85}

             1 / p = 0.107375

             p = 93.13 cm

Choose all of the true statements regarding the relationship between voltage, resistance, and current. Current is measured in am
AveGali [126]

-- <u><em>Current is measured in amps.</em></u>  (You can use any symbol you want to represent current, but the most common one is " I ", not "Δ".)

-- <u><em>The relationship between current, voltage, and resistance is mathematically defined by Ohm's Law. </em></u>

-- <u><em>Current is the flow of electrons through a circuit.</em></u>

-- (Ohm's Law is NOT mathematically represented by the equation V=I/R.)  <u><em>It should be V = I · R</em></u> .  

(When solving for Resistance in a circuit and both voltage and current are known values, the equation I =V*R is not true, and not the way to solve it.)  <u><em>If the resistance is what you're looking for, then the equation to use is  </em></u><u><em>R = V / I</em></u><u><em> .  </em></u>

<em>-- </em><u><em>If the voltage in a circuit is increased, the current will also increase.</em></u>
