Human Eye.

  • Eye lens : Over all behaves as a convex lens of m = 437
  • Retina : Real and inverted image of an object, obtained at retina, brain sense it
  • Yellow spot : It is the most sensitive part, the image formed at yellow spot is
  • Blind spot : Optic nerves goes to brain through blind It is not sensitive for light.
  • Ciliary muscles Eye lens is fixed between these It’s both radius of curvature can be changed by applying pressure on it through ciliary muscles.
  • Power of accomodation : The ability of eye to see near objects as well as far objects is called power of

Note : @When we look distant objects, the eye is relaxed and it’s focal length is largest.

  • Range of vision : For healthy eye it is 25 cm (near point) to ¥ (far point).

A normal eye can see the objects clearly, only if they are at a distance greater than 25 cm. This distance is called Least distance of distinct vision and is represented by D.

  • Persistence of vision : Is 1/10 sec. e. if time interval between two consecutive light pulses is lesser than

0.1 sec., eye cannot distinguish them separately.

  • Binocular vision : The seeing with two eyes is called binocular
  • Resolving limit : The minimum angular displacement between two objects, so that they are just

   æ 1 öo

resolved is called resolving limit. For eye it is 1 = ç 60 ÷ .

(11)  Defects in eye

 

 

 

 

Presbyopia : In this defect both near and far objects are not clearly visible. It is an old age disease and it is due to the loosing power of accommodation. It can be removed by using bifocal lens.

Astigmatism : In this defect eye cannot see horizontal and vertical lines clearly, simultaneously. It is due to imperfect spherical nature of eye lens. This defect can be removed by using cylindrical lens (Torric lenses).

Microscope.

It is an optical instrument used to see very small objects. It’s magnifying power is given by

  • Resolving limit and resolving power : In reference to a microscope, the minimum distance between two lines at which they are just distinct is called Resolving limit (RL) and it’s reciprocal is called Resolving power (RP)

q = Half angle of the cone of light from the point object, m sinq = Numerical aperture.

 

Note : @Electron microscope : electron beam(l » 1Å) than that of ordinary microscope (l » 5000 Å)

(4)  Resolving limit and resolving power

 

 

 

Smallest angular separations (dq) between two distant objects, whose images are separated in the telescope is called resolving limit. So resolving limit dq = 1.22l

and resolving power (RP) = 1

dq

=     a

1.22l

Þ R.P. µ 1

l

where a = aperture of objective.

 

Note : @Minimum separation (d) between objects, so they can just resolved by a telescope is – d = r 

R.P.

where r = distance of objects from telescope.

(5) Binocular

If two telescopes are mounted parallel to each other so that an object can be seen by both the eyes simultaneously, the arrangement is called ‘binocular’. In a binocular, the length of each tube is reduced

by using a set of totally reflecting prisms which provided intense, erect image free from lateral inversion. Through a binocular we get two images of the same object from different angles at same time. Their superposition gives the perception of depth also along with length and breadth, i.e., binocular vision gives proper three-dimensional (3D) image.

 

Concepts

 

As magnifying power is negative, the image seen in astronomical telescope is truly inverted, i.e., left is turned right with upside down simultaneously. However, as most of the astronomical objects are symmetrical this inversion does not affect the observations.

Objective and eye lens of a telescope are interchanged, it will not behave as a microscope but object appears very small.

In a telescope, if field and eye lenses are interchanged magnification will change from (fo / fe) to (fe / fo), i.e., it will change from m to (1/m), i.e., will become (1/m2) times of its initial value.

As magnification for normal setting as (fo / fe), so to have large magnification, fo must be as large as practically possible and fe small. This is why in a telescope, objective is of large focal length while eye piece of small.

In a telescope, aperture of the field lens is made as large as practically possible to increase its resolving power as resolving power of  a  telescope  µ (D/l)*.  Large  aperture  of  objective  also  helps  in  improving  the  brightness  of  image  by  gathering  more  light from distant object. However, it increases aberrations particularly spherical.

For a telescope with increase in length of the tube, magnification decreases. In case of a telescope if object and final image are at infinity then :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

m = fo   D

fe           d

 

If we are given four convex lenses having focal lengths

f1 > f2 > f3 > f4 .   For making a good telescope and microscope. We

 

choose the following lenses respectively.  Telescope

f1(o), f4 (e)

Microscope

f4 (o), f3 (e)

 

If a parrot is sitting on the objective of a large telescope and we look towards (or take a photograph)of distant astronomical object (say moon) through it, the parrot will not be seen but the intensity of the image will be slightly reduced as the parrot will act as obstruction to light and will reduce the aperture of the objective.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Example: 1           A man can see the objects upto a distance of one metre from his eyes. For correcting his eye sight so that he can see an object at infinity, he requires a lens whose power is

or

A man can see upto 100 cm of the distant object. The power of the lens required to see far objects will be

Tricky example: 2
A compound microscope is used to enlarge an object kept at a distance 0.03m from it’s objective which consists of several convex lenses in contact and has focal length 0.02m. If a lens  of focal length 0.1m is removed from the objective, then by what distance the eye-piece of the microscope must be moved to refocus the image

(a) 2.5 cm                                (b) 6 cm                                       (c) 15 cm                             (d) 9 cm

Solution : (d)     If initially the objective (focal length F ) forms the image at distance v then v = uo fo   = 3 ´ 2 = 6 cm

So to refocus the image, eye-piece must be moved by the same distance through which the image formed by the objective has shifted i.e. 15 – 6 = 9 cm.
