Answer:

1. The focal length of the human eye is approximately 1.7 cm a) What is the f-number for

the human eye in bright light, when the pupil diameter is 2.0 mm? b? What is the

f- number in dim light, when the pupil diameter has expanded to 7.0 mm?

2. The focal length of a relaxed human eye is approximately 1.7 cm. When we focus our

eyes on a close-up object, we can change the refractive power of the eye by about 16

diopters. a) Does the refractive power of our eyes increase or decrease by 16 diopters
