Atypical person's eye is 2.5 cm in diameter and has a near point (the closest an object can be and still be seen in focus) of 25 cm, and a far point (the farthest an object can be and still be in focus) of infinity. 1) what is the minimum effective focal length of the focusing mechanism (lens plus cornea) of the typical eye? (express your answer to two significant figures.)

The minimum effective focal length of the focusing mechanism (lens plus cornea) of the typical eye is 2.27 cm.

Explanation:

The diameter of person's eye is 2.5 cm. The close point or the near point of the eye is 25 cm and the far point is infinity. We need to determine the minimum effective focal length of the focusing mechanism (lens plus cornea) of the typical eye. Let f is the minimum effective focal length. It can be calculated using lens formula as :

f = 2.27 cm

So, the minimum effective focal length of the focusing mechanism (lens plus cornea) of the typical eye is 2.27 cm and it is at the nearest point. Hence, this is the required solution.

in simple terms, the principle states that the buoyancy force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, or the density of the fluid multiplied by the submerged volume times the gravitational acceleration, g. this is also known as upthrust.
