(a) A person has a near point of 10.0 cm, and a far point of 20.0 cm, as measured from their eyes. (i) (2 points) Is this person nearsighted or farsighted? JUSTIFY YOUR ANSWER. (ii) (6 points) This person puts on eyeglasses of power (-8.00 D), that sit 1.8 cm in front of their eyes. What is their "new" near point- in other words, what is the closest that they can hold reading material and see it clearly? (iii) (4 points) Show, by means of a calculation, that these (-8.00 D) glasses will NOT help their far point issues. Bifocal Lens (iv) (6 points) Since their near point and far point cannot both be helped by the same glasses, perhaps they need "bi-focals" - glasses with two different focal lengths (one for the top half of the glasses, one for the bottom half, like this sketch shows). What power should the other part of their glasses be in order to move their "new" far point out to infinity? distance near (b) A different person uses +2.3 diopter contact lenses to read a book that they hold 28 cm from their eyes. (i) (2 points) Is this person nearsighted or farsighted? JUSTIFY YOUR ANSWER. NO CREDIT WILL BE GIVEN WITHOUT JUSTIFICATION. (ii) (6 points) Where is this person's near point, in cm? (iii) (4 points) As this person ages, they eventually must hold the book 38 cm from their eyes in order to see clearly with the same +2.3 diopter lenses. What power lenses do they need in order to hold book back at the original 28 cm distance?
