B) When the muscles connected to the crystalline lens contract fully, its focal length is 16.5000 cm. With this focal length, how far away must an object be to form sharply focused images on the retina? (Note: this distance is called the far point of vision.)
c) When the muscles connected to the crystalline lens relax, the focal length is 9.0000 cm. With this focal length, how close must an object be to form sharply focused images on the retina? (Note: this distance is called the near point of vision.)
d) As people age, the crystalline lens hardens (a condition called presbyopia or “old-age” eyes) and can only vary in focal length from 12 to 15.60 cm. Calculate range of vision (the new near point and far point) for this older eye.
e) Based on part d) why might an older person hold the newspaper at arm’s length to read it?
