Question

Instead of changing the focal length of the lens, the eyes of amphibians work in a different manner: a set of muscles changes the shape of the eye which increases the distance between the front of the eye and the retina. The world's largest frog, the Goliath frog of west Africa, has an eye with a maximum size similar to a human's: 2.5cm. However, unlike a human, where the focal length is also 2.5cm, the focal length of the Goliath frog's eye is 2.146 cm. What is the maximum distance this frog can see

Answer 1

The answer is "15.56 cm".

Step-by-step explanation:

`v= 2.5 \ cm\\\\f= 2.154 \ cm`

Calculating object of length is x so:

`u= -x`

Using formula:

`\to (1)/(v)-(1)/(u)=(1)/(f)\\\\\to (1)/(2.5)-(1)/(-x)=(1)/(2.154)\\\\\to (1)/(x)=(1)/(2.154)-(1)/(2.5)\\\\\to (1)/(2.5)-(1)/(-x)=(1)/(2.154)\\\\\to x= 15.56 \ cm`
