PHYSICS PROJECT TO STUDY THE OPTICAL LENS OF A HUMAN EYE Eyes are organs that detect light‚ and convert it to electro-chemical impulses in neurons. The simplest photoreceptors in conscious vision connect light to movement. In higher organisms the eye is a complex optical system which collects light from the surrounding environment; regulates its intensity through a diaphragm; focuses it through an adjustable assembly of lenses to form an image; converts this image into a set of electrical signals;

CHAPTER 7 SPEED - Is a scalar -measures “how fast an object is moving” INSTANTANEOUS SPEED -the speed at any given instant in time AVERAGE SPEED -the average of all instantaneous speed; found simply by a distance or time ratio. SPEED= distance/Time TIME= Distance/Time DISTAnce= Speed*Time VELOCITY- is a vector Refers to the rate at which an object changes its position VELOCITY= displacement/time MOTION- is a change in position with respect to a reference ENERGY-

The 16th Century Ideas That Echo Through Modern Science “The history of science is part of the history of mankind. It is a record of one aspect of the human struggle to achieve security and certainty in an ever-changing universe.” (Levy‚ 3) Science is an ever expanding subject and reaches out into almost every aspect of our lives. Before the sixteenth-century science as we know it did not exist. Natural philosophy‚ and astronomy were the main focus of the time. These two fields were highly

books ever written‚ both due to the specific physical laws the work successfully described‚ and for its style‚ which assisted in setting standards for scientific publication down to the present time. Newton built the first practical reflecting telescope[9] and developed a theory of colour based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into the many colours that form the visible spectrum. He also formulated an empirical law of cooling and studied the speed of sound. In mathematics‚

structure is a transparent front window through which light enters the eyeball. It is made up of 3 main structures which are the epithelium‚ stroma and endothelium. Its function is that it performs much of the initial focusing of the image by bending or refracting the light onto the lens. 3- Sclera- its structure is the white of the eye and it is the tough outer layer and it protects the eyeball 4- Choroid- the choroids structure is underneath the sclera and it is a sheet of blood vessels. Its main function

In essence‚ a telescope eyepiece is an arrangement of lenses in a barrel-shaped array to aid in image magnification. They come in a wide variety of sizes to match the focuser and an equally wide variety of magnification factors and styles. Amazon.com offers a variety of telescope eyepieces up for grabs!
