1.if a nearsighted person has a far point df that is 3.50m from the eye, what is the focal length f1 of the contact lenses that the person would need to see an object at infinity clearly?

2.if a farsighted person has a near point that is 0.600m from the eye, what is the focal length f2 of the contact lenses that the person would need to be able to read a book held at 0.350m from the person's eyes?

a) -3.5m b) 0.22man

Explanation:

a) A near sighted person is a person that can only see near objects clearly but not far objects.

According to the lens formula

1/u+1/v = 1/f

where u = object distance (distance between the object and the lens)

v = image distance (distance between the image and the lens)

f = focal length of the lens

Given u= infinity v = 3.5m f= ?

1/f = 1/infinity +1/3.5

Since the lens used for correcting near sighted person is concave lens therefore the image distance is negative due to virtual image produced by the lens.

We then have 1/f1 = 1/infinity -1/3.5

f1 = -3.5m

b) A far sighted person is a person that can only see far objects clearly but not near objects.

According to the lens formula

1/u+1/v = 1/f

Given u= 0.35m v = 0.6m f2= ?

1/f2 = 1/0.35 + 1/0.6

Since the lens used for correcting far sighted person is convex lens therefore the image distance is positive due to mostly real image produced by the lens (reason why the image distance is positive.

f2 = 0.22m

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
