A normal eye has retina 2 cm behind the eye-lens. What is the power of the eye-lens when the eye is (a) fully relaxed, (b) most strained?

उत्तर
(a) When the eye lens is fully relaxed, we have:
u = ∞
Distance of the retina from the eye lens, v = 2 cm = 0.02 m
The lens formula is given by
`1/v -1/u =1/f`
Putting the respective values, we get:
`1/f = 1/0.02 - 1/∞ = 1/0.02`
∴ Power of the lens =`1/f` = 50 diopters
So, in a fully relaxed condition, the power of the eye lens is 50 D.
(b) When the eye lens is most strained:
u = – 25 cm = – 0.25 m
The lens formula is given by
`1/v -1/u =1/f`
Putting the values, we get:
`1/f = 1/0.02 -1/((-0.25))`
= 50+4 =54
∴ Power of the lens = `1/f` = 54 diopters
So, in the most strained condition, the power of the eye lens is 54 D.

Does short-sightedness (myopia) or long-sightedness (hypermetropia) imply necessarily that the eye has partially lost its ability of accommodation? If not, what might cause these defects of vision?
A myopic person has been using spectacles of power −1.0 dioptre for distant vision. During old age, he also needs to use the separate reading glass of power + 2.0 dioptres. Explain what may have happened.
A person looking at a person wearing a shirt with a pattern comprising vertical and horizontal lines is able to see the vertical lines more distinctly than the horizontal ones. What is this defect due to? How is such a defect of vision corrected?
The angle subtended at the eye by an object is equal to the angle subtended at the eye by the virtual image produced by a magnifying glass. In what sense then does a magnifying glass provide angular magnification?
In viewing through a magnifying glass, one usually positions one’s eyes very close to the lens. Does angular magnification change if the eye is moved back?
