An aging physics professor has a near point distance of 66.7 cm and a normal far point. Lenses with pc=+3.5D correct his near point to 20 cm. What would his far point distance be when wearing the lenses? a) infinity b) 10 cm c) 50 cm d) 33 cm e) 28.6 cm
Added by Robert T.
Step 1
The near point distance is 66.7 cm, which means the professor can only see objects clearly when they are at a distance of 66.7 cm or closer. Show more…

A far sighted student has a near point of 1.0 m. Calculate the focal length of the contact lenses needed so that his near point will become normal (25 cm). (a) 20 cm (b) 25 cm (c) 33 cm (d) 72 cm (e) 100 cm

A certain farsighted student cannot focus an object closer to his eyes than 140 cm. What focal length eyeglass lenses are needed in order to focus on a Physics textbook held at 35 cm from the student's eye, if the glasses are worn 2cm from his eyes? Show your calculation work please

An optometrist needs to prescribe corrective lenses for a person whose near point is q = 61.4 cm. If the patient is to see objects clearly at a distance of p = 25.0 cm, calculate the following. (Neglect the distance from the lens to the eye.) (a) focal length (in cm) of the appropriate corrective lens__________. (b) power (in diopters) of the appropriate corrective lens___________.
