Q. Calculate the power of the eye - lens of the normal eye when it is focused at its (a) far point, infinity and (b) near point, 25 cm from the eye. Assume the distance of the retina from the eye - lens to be 2.5 cm.

Q. For a normal eye, the far point is at infinity and the near point ofdistinct vision is about 25cm in front of the eye. The cornea of theeye provides a converging power of about 40 dioptres, and the leastconverging power of the eye-lens behind the cornea is about 20 dioptres. From this rough data estimate the range of accommodation(i.e., the range of converging power of the eye-lens) of a normal eye.

Q. An object is placed at a distance of 30 cm from a converging lens of focal length 15 cm. A normal eye (near point 25 cm, far point infinity) is placed close to the lens on the other side. (a) Can the eye see the object clearly? (b) What should be the minimum separation between the lens and the eye so that the eye can clearly see the object? (c) Can a diverging lens, placed in contact with the converging lens, help in seeing the object clearly when the eye is close to the lens?
