Which statement is true regarding the properties of light? - ANSWER -Light

behaves in two different ways: like a particle and like a wave.

Use Prentice's Rule to find the power of a lens that is ground with 2 prism diopters

2 mm from the optical center. - ANSWER -10 diopters

The visible spectrum is: - ANSWER -Between 380 and 760 nm.

How does light bend when it enters a medium denser (a higher refractive index)

than where it came from? - ANSWER -towards the normal

The low Abbe value of polycarbonate indicates: - ANSWER -High dispersion of

light.

High-index lenses can help make a lens thinner by: - ANSWER -Causing the light

to bend more.



Single vision lens - ANSWER -lens with the same power throughout the lens



Spherocylinder lens - ANSWER -lenses with a sphere (to correct nearsightedness

or farsightnedness) and a cylinder (to correct astigmatism)



multifocal lenses - ANSWER -lenses in which the lowwr portion of the lens has an

add that makes it more magnified in power than the rest of the lens. A bifocal has

two powers and a trifocal has three

, chromatic aberration - ANSWER -when the lens does not focus all the

wavelengths of color to one point



distortion - ANSWER -when the different points in the periphery of a lens have

different amounts of magnification



spherical aberration - ANSWER -occurs when parallel light rays move along the

optical axis



coma - ANSWER -the typr of lens aberration called coma occurs when parallel

light rays going through a lens focus in a ring shaped pattern with a V shaped or

comet like flare on one end of the image



abbe value - ANSWER -the amount of chromatic abberation produced by a lens

material

abbe value for plastic - ANSWER -1.74= 32 abbe

1.7= 36 abbe

1.67= 32

1.6= 42 abbe

abbe value for polycarbonate - ANSWER -30

abbe value for trivex - ANSWER -45

abbe value for glass - ANSWER -58

abbe value for standard plastic - ANSWER -58



curvature of field - ANSWER -occurs when the things a person sees through the

edge of a lens dont focus on the retina at the same time as the objects the person

sees through the center of the lens
