Your Answer Was CORRECT: Explanation

The document discusses various optics concepts including: 1) The image formed by an object outside the focal point F1 of a thin convex lens is real, inverted, and outside the second principle focus F2. 2) The image formed by an object between the center of curvature and focal point of a concave mirror is real, inverted, and enlarged. 3) Light waves that are in phase produce constructive interference, while waves out of phase produce destructive interference.

The image formed by an object outside the focal point F1 of a thin convex lens is:
virtual, erect, magnified, further from the lens than object
virtual, erect, diminished, inside the second principle focus (F2)
virtual, erect, at infinity
real, inverted, outside the second principle focus (F2)

Your answer was CORRECT


Explanation
Figure: A thin convex lens. (1) Object outside F1: image real, inverted, outside F2. (2) Object at
F1: image virtual, erect, at infinity. (3) Object inside F1: image virtual, erect, magnified, and
further from the lens than the object.

In regards the question above, the image formed by an object outside the focal point F1 of a thin
convex lens (Figure 1 above) is: real, inverted and outside the second principle focus, F2 (or
precisely at F2 if the object is at infinity).

We recommend being familiar with drawing ray diagrams by producing, from the top of any
object, 2 lines (a) one passing through the nodal point undeviated, (b) the other parallel to the
principle axis passing through the second principle focus.
 
Where does the image formed by an object outside the centre of curvature of a concave mirror lie:
between the principle focus and the mirror
outside the centre of curvature
between the centre of curvature and the principle focus
behind the mirror

Your answer was CORRECT


Explanation
Figure: Concave mirror (1) Object outside the centre of curvature C. Image real, inverted,
diminished, lying between C and principal focus F. (2) Object between C and F. Image real,
inverted, enlarged, lying outside C.(3) Object inside F. Image erect, virtual and enlarged.

For an object outside the centre of curvature of a concave mirror, the image formed is real,
inverted and diminished; and it lies between the centre of curvature and the principle focus, as
seen in Figure 1 above.
 
Which is FALSE regarding bifocal glasses:
the optical centre lies midway between the distance and reading segments
decentration of the reading segment can be used to treat diplopia for near
they are used in the management of convergence excess esotropia
the executive type may be used in the treatment of accommodative spasm

Your answer was CORRECT


Explanation
The distance and reading segments of bifocals have separate optical centres - so the statement is
false. All other statements are true.
 
The following are all clinical uses of prisms EXCEPT:
objective measurement of squint angle by prism cover test
measurement of fusional reserve by using increasingly powerful prisms
assessment of simulated blindness
detection of microtropia by using a four-dioptre base-in prism

Your answer was CORRECT


Explanation
Microtropia describes a very small esotropia and it can be detected clinically by using a 4 dioptre
base-out prism. When put before the deviating eye there is no movement as the image remains
within the suppression scotoma. However, when placed before the normal fixing eye, movement
occurs.
 
The image formed by an object lying between the centre of curvature and the principle focus of a
concave mirror is:
virtual, inverted and enlarged
erect, virtual and enlarged
real, inverted and diminished
real, inverted and enlarged

Your answer was CORRECT


Explanation
Figure: Concave mirror (1) Object outside the centre of curvature C. Image real, inverted,
diminished, lying between C and principal focus F. (2) Object between C and F. Image real,
inverted, enlarged, lying outside C.(3) Object inside F. Image erect, virtual and enlarged.

The image formed by an object between the centre of curvature and the principle focus is real,
inverted and enlarged, and it lies outside the centre of curvature as seen in Figure 2 above.
 
A patient is refracted after cataract surgery. Retinoscopy with the beam vertically requires a
+3.00D lens to neutralize the relex at 0.5m. No lens is required for neutralization with the
retinoscopy beam horizontally at the same distance.

What is the refractive outcome of the eye?


+1.00/-3.00 x 180
+3.00/-3.00 x 180
+3.00/-3.00 x 90
+1.00/-3.00 x 90

Your answer was CORRECT


Explanation
The initial power cross will show +3.00 acting in a horizontal direction (beam is vertical but it will
be sweeping horizontally) and 0.00 acting in a vertical direction. After subtracting for working
distance (0.5 meters or 2 dioptres) the power cross is +1.00 acting horizontal and -2.00 acting
vertical. Converting this power cross to sphero-cylindrical format gives: +1.00/-3.00 x 180
 
Which is FALSE about spectacle correction of aphakia:
it minimises objects
the ring scotoma is due to high induced prism of the lens periphery
the field of vision is decreased by a lenticular form lens
increasing the back vertex distance of an aphakic correction increases effective power

Your answer was CORRECT


Explanation
Objects are magnified in aphakic correction. All other statements are correct.
 
Which is FALSE regarding light waves:
waves that are exactly in phase are called coherent
anti-glare spectacle coatings use destructive interference
constructive interference is used in the corneal stroma
waves that are in phase create constructive interference

Your answer was CORRECT


Explanation
Light waves that are exactly in phase are called coherent, while out of phase waves are termed
incoherent. Waves that are in-phase produce constructive interference where there is summation
of amplitude while waves that are out of phase produce destructive interference where there is
subtraction of amplitude. Destructive interference is used in the corneal stroma to reduce scatter
and therefore maintain clarity; it also used in anti-glare coatings on spectacles.
 
Which statement is FALSE regarding accommodation:
cyclopentolate reduces accommodation
it declines rapidly at the age of 60
the AC/A is greater than normal in convergence excess esotropia
there is a strict relationship between accommodation and convergence

Your answer was CORRECT


Explanation
Accommodation is absent by the age of 60. All other options true.
 
Which is FALSE regarding the use of the cross-cylinder to assess the axis of a trial lens during a
refraction:
the process is repeated until the cross offers equally unacceptable options to the patient
the handle is held in line with the axis of the trial lens
the cylindrical axis is usually assessed before the cylindrical power
the axis of the trial lens is moved towards the axis of positive sign on the cross

Your answer was CORRECT


Explanation
The axis of the trial lens is moved towards the axis of the same sign on the cross-cylinder. Other
options are true.
