What is the height of a 20/20 letter when using 20 foot test distance?
20 feet (6096mm) Tan (5/60)=x/6096mm 0.001454442069=x/6096mm 8.87mm=x 5=5m of arc for 20/20 letter
These priced distance magnification
Telescope
What do telescopes consist of
2 lenses, an objective (closest to object) and an ocular (also known as eyepiece)
In low vision telescopes, the ____ is always a plus lense
Objective
Galilean telescope
-aka terrestrial telescope -Minus ocular, plus objective
Keplarian telescope
-AKA astronomical telescope -plus ocular, plus objective
Lens separation (d) in a Galilean telescope
(d)=1/F1+1/F2 Then the lenses are separated such that the secondary focal point of the objective coincides with the primary focal point of the ocular, they relate an afocal system (has not dioptric power)
Afocal telescopes
Lenses are separated such that the seoncday focal point of the objective coincides with the primary focal point of the ocular They are vergence amplifiers
What is the separation between the lenses in a keplarian telescope that has a +5D objective and a +20D ocular?
D=1/F1+1/F2 F1=+5D F2=+20D 1/5+1/20 D=0.25m=25cm
What is the separation between the lenses in this Galilean telescope? (F1=+5D; F2=-20D)
1/5+(-1/20) D=0.15m=15cm
Angular magnification
M=(-F[ocular])/F[objective])
What is the angular magnification of a galialean telescope that has a +5 objective and -20D ocualr?
M=-(-20)/5=4x
What is the magnification of a keplarian telescope that has a +5 objective and a +20 ocular
M=-20/5=-4X (image is inverted)
Uncorrected refractive error and Galilean focusable telescopes: -5D myope, -20D ocular, +5D objective
-5D of ocular power needed to correct refractive error D=1/5 + 1/-15=0.133 M=-(-15)/5=3x
Uncorrected refractive error and Galilean focusable telescopes. +5D hyperope, -20D ocular, +5D objective
I uncorrected hyperopia adds 5D of power to ocular D=1/5 + (1/-25)=0.16 M=-(-25)/5=5X
Viewing near objects through fixed focus telescopes
-telescopes are vergence amplifiers -much more acommodation is needed to view near objects with a telescope compared to without Approximate formula: L’=M^2L
An object viewed from 50cm away through a 5x telescope
L=1/.5=2 L’=(5^2)2=50D
Exit pupil
-image of the objective as formed by the ocular -the closer the exit pupils is to the entrance pupil of the eye, the larger the field of view
Exit pupil in Galilean
Inside scope
Exit pupil in keplarian
Located outside scope
