What is the linear separation D at the retina (micrometers)? The minimum diameter of the pupil is about 2 mm, the eye is most sensitive to wavelengths of about 500 nm (air), the index of refraction of the aqueous humor is n = 1.33, and the distance between the cornea and retina is about 2.5 cm.

The resolution of the eye is ultimately limited by the pupil diameter. What is the smallest diameter spot the eye can produce on the retina if the pupil diameter is 3.72 mm? Assume light with a wavelength of λ = 550 nm. (Note: The distance from the pupil to the retina is 25.4 mm. In addition, the space between the pupil and the retina is filled with a fluid whose index of refraction is n = 1.336.) Hint: The size...

An object is placed 9.10 cm in front of the cornea. (The cornea is thin ans has approximately parallel sides so that the reflection that occurs as light travels from air to cornea to aqueous humor is essentially the same as though the aqueous humor were directly in contact with the air. The aqueous humor has index of refraction n = 1.34 and the radius of curvature of cornea is 7.8 mm.) (a) What is the image distance for the...

Help with part a, please!
Problem 4 In problem set 9, we briefly looked at how the intensity of light reaching the retina is strongly influenced by the pupil. In front of the pupil is the cornea and just behind is the lens, both of which work together to direct and focus light in the eye. Light first enters the eye through the cornea, is bent through the pupil, and then moves through the lens which is controlled by muscles...

The photosensitive cells (rods and cones) in the retina are most densely packed in the fovea - the part of the retina used to see straight ahead. In the fovea, the cells are all cones spaced about 1 pm apart. Would our vision have much better resolution If they were closer together? To answer this question, assume two light sources are just far enough apart to be resolvable according to Rayleigh?s criterion. Assume an average pupil diameter of 5.00 mm...

Very short pulses of high-intensity laser beams are used to repair detached portions of the retina of the eye. The brief pulses of energy absorbed by the retina welds the detached portion back into place. In one such procedure, a laser beam has a wavelength of 810 nm and delivers 250 mW of power spread over a circular spot 510 μm in diameter. The vitreous humor (the transparent fluid that fills most of the eye) has an index of refraction...
