Joe is hiking through the woods when he decides to stop and take in the view. He is particularly interested in three objects: a squirrel sitting on a rock next to him, a tree a few meters away, and a distant mountain. As Joe is taking in the view, he thinks back to what he learned in his physics class about how the human eye works. Light enters the eye at the curved front surface of the cornea, passes through the lens, and then strikes the retina and fovea on the back of the eye. The cornea and lens together form a compond lens system. The large difference between the index of refraction of air and that of the aqueous humor behind the cornea is responsible for most of the bending of the light rays that enter the eye, but it is the lens that allows our eyes to focus. The ciliary muscles surrounding the lens can be expanded and contracted to change the curvature of the lens, which in turn changes the effective focal length of the cornea-lens system. This in turn changes the location of the image of any object in one's field of view. Images formed on the fovea appear in focus. Images formed between the lens and the fovea appear blurry, as do images formed behind the fovea. Therefore, to focus on some object, you adjust your ciliary muscles until the image of that object is located on the fovea.
A) Joe first focuses his attention (and his eyes) on the tree. The focal length of the cornea-lens system in his eye must be the distance between the front and back of his eye.
a. greater than
b. less than
c. equal to
B) Joe's eyes are focused on the tree, so the squirrel and the mountain appear out of focus. This is because the image of the squirrel is formed and the image of the mountain is formed .
a. between the lens and fovea / between the lens and fovea
b. between the lens and fovea / behind the fovea
c. behind the fovea / between the lens and fovea
d. behind the fovea / behind the fovea
C) Joe now shifts his focus from the tree to the squirrel. To do this, the ciliary muscles in his eyes must have the curvature of the lens, resulting in a(n) focal length for the cornea-lens system. Note that curvature is different from radius of curvature.
a. increased / increased
b. increased / decreased
c. decreased / increased
d. decreased / decreased

In a thunderstorm, charge builds up on the water droplets or ice crystals in a cloud. thus, the charge can be considered to be distributed uniformly throughout the cloud. for the purposes of this problem, take the cloud to be a sphere of diameter 1.00 kilometer. the point of this problem is to estimate the maximum amount of charge that this cloud can contain, assuming that the charge builds up until the electric field at the surface of the cloud reaches the value at which the surrounding air breaks down. this breakdown means that the air becomes highly ionized, enabling it to conduct the charge from the cloud to the ground or another nearby cloud. the ionized air will then emit light due to the recombination of the electrons and atoms to form excited molecules that radiate light. in addition, the large current will heat up the air, resulting in its rapid expansion. these two phenomena account for the appearance of lightning and the sound of thunder. take the breakdown electric field of air to be eb=3.00ă—106n/c. part a estimate the total charge q on the cloud when the breakdown of the surrounding air is reached. express your answer numerically, to three significant figures, using ďµ0=8.85ă—10â’12c2/(nâ‹…m2) .
