A spherical surface with a 10 cm radius of curvature is on a fish tank separating

air and H20 (n = 4/3). The glass is BK-7, and the surface on the water side is
flat (assume a thin lens). A fish is swimming 25 cm away from the wall. Where
is the image of the fish formed (cm)?

index is 1.50 and its central thickness is 5 cm. Describe the image of a 1-in. tall object,
situated 8 cm from the first vertex.
Focus:

Given: R1 = 20 cm, R2 = 10 cm, n = n = 1.00, nL = 1.50, t = 5 cm, h = 1 in, d = 8 cm

Find: si, hi
Plan: Use eqn (18-1) and (18-2) to calculate f1 and f2 then use eqn (18-3) to calculate r and s, and
(18-5) to calculate si and m to find hi
Execute: From eqn (18-1):

Pedrotti3 19-7

Reference to Table 19-2 indicates that the corneal radius of curvature for the
unaccommodated schematic eye is 8mm. Treating the cornea as a thin surface (whose own
refraction can be neglected), bounded by air on one side and aqueous humor on the other,
determine the refractive power (see Section 2-10) of the corneal surface.
The power for a refracting surface is defined as:
