d. pupil-

4. Give at least 5 advantages of the human eye over the camera.

5. Cite three similarities between the camera and the human eye.

SELF-CHECK

1. Name and describe the parts of a camera.

2. What is ƒ –number?

3. How is the ƒ –number related to the brightness of the image/

4. What will happen to the intensity of light striking the film if you increase the aperture of a camera
by a factor of 3.

5. A lens has a focal length of 28 cm. and a diameter of 4.0 cm. What is the ƒ –number of the lens?

6. A certain camera has ƒ –number that range from 1.2 to 22 if the focal length of the lens is 55mm.

What is the range of aperture diameters for the camera?

B. The Eye

Like a camera, a normal eye focuses light and produces a sharp image. In all respect, the eye is a
physiological wonder.

SELF-CHECK

a. Cornea

b. Aqueous humor

c. Pupil

d. Iris

e. Crystalline lens

f. Retina

g. Rods and coves

h. Ciliary muscle

i. Zonules
3. What is accommodation process?

4. Describe near point and fa point.

Conditions of the Eye

Describe each:

a. Farsightedness or hyperopia

b. Nearsightedness or myopia

c. Presbyopia (old-age vision)

d. Astigmatism

e. Optometrists

f. Ophthalmologists

g. Diopters

h. Describe or explain how farsightedness and nearsightedness can be corrected.

i. How can old-age vision and astigmatism be corrected?

Questions: True or False

___1. The larger the distance to a near point, the larger the power of the required

corrective lens.

___2. The shorter the distance to a patient’s far point, the more negative the power of

the required corrective lens.

3. Vision of an invisible man.

A classic science fiction story, the invisible man by H.G. Wells, tells of a man who

becomes invisible by changing the index of refraction not+ his body to that of air. Since

you know how the eye works, criticize this story. They claim that the invisible man would

unable to see. On your basis of your knowledge of the eye, would he be able to see?

Explain your answer.
