Problem 1P · CEPredict/Explain BIO Octopus Eyes To focus its eyes, an octopus does not change the shape of its lens, as is the case in humans. Instead, an octopus moves its rigid lens back and forth, as in a camera. This changes the distance from the lens to the retina and brings an object into focus. (a) If an object moves closer to an octopus, must the octopus move its lens closer to or farther from its retina to keep the object in focus? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following: I. The lens must move closer to the retina—that is, farther away from the object—to compensate for the object moving closer to the eye. II. When the object moves closer to the eye, the image produced by the lens will be farther behind the lens; therefore, the lens must move farther from the retina.

Chapter 27: Problem 97 Physics with MasteringPhysics 4
Landing on an Aircraft Carrier The Long-Range Lineup System (LRLS) used to ensure safe landings on aircraft carriers consists of a series of Fresnel lenses of different colors. Each lens focuses light in a different, specific direction, and hence which light a pilot sees on approach determines whether the plane is above, below, or on the proper landing path. The basic idea behind a Fresnel lens, which has the same optical properties as an ordinary lens, is shown in Figure , along with a photo of the LRLS. Suppose an object (a lightbulb in this case) is \(17.1 \mathrm{~cm}\) behind a Fresnel lens, and that the corresponding image is a distance \(d_{i}=d\) in front of the lens. If the object is moved to a distance of \(12.0 \mathrm{~cm}\) behind the lens, the image distance doubles to \(d_{i}=2 d\). In the LRLS, it is desired to have the image of the lightbulb at infinity. What object distance will give this result for this particular lens? (a) A lens causes light to refract at its surface; therefore, the interior glass can be removed without changing its optical properties. This produces a Fresnel lens, which is much lighter than the original lens. (b) If an airplane is on the correct approach path, the pilot will see an amber light, called the “meatball,” in line with the row of blue lights.
