An optometrist determines that a patient cannot clearly see any object that lies closer than 59.4 cm to the patient's eye. (a) Which of the following terms best describes this distance? magnification far point near point focal length (b) The patient needs to be able to clearly see objects that are just 24.0 cm distant. A contact lens is prescribed. What focal length (in cm) should this lens have? Assume the lens can be modeled as an ideal thin lens, which lies adjacent to the eye. cm (c) What is the power, P, of the contact lens (in diopters)? diopters

A measurement indicates that a patient cannot clearly see any object that lies closer than 71.6 cm to the patient's eye. (a) Which of the following terms best describes this distance? magnification focal length near point far point (b) The patient needs to be able to clearly see objects that are just 24.0 cm distant. A contact lens is prescribed. What focal length (in cm) should this lens have? Assume the lens can be modeled as an ideal thin lens, which lies adjacent to the eye. cm (c) What is the power, P, of the contact lens (in diopters)? diopters

An examination reveals that a patient cannot clearly see any object that lies closer than 62.2 cm to the patient's eye. (a) Which of the following terms best describes this distance? focal length , far point, near point , magnification (b) The patient needs to be able to clearly see objects that are just 27.0 cm distant. A contact lens is called for. What focal length (in cm) should this lens have? Assume the lens can be modeled as an ideal thin lens, which lies adjacent to the eye. (c) What is the power, P, of the contact lens (in diopters)?
