Remember to box your calculated results (- 5 points for each question)

Question 1 (30pts):
1. Sketch the eye anatomy and indicate the names and function of 6 parts. (5pts)
2. Xenon bulbs are a type of gas discharge lamp. Electricity passing through the ionised
xenon gas produces powerful, bright, crisp light. What does XED stand for? Can you
describe the working principle of XED. (20pts)
3. Indicate the anatomy of an optical fiber. Briefly describe the function of each component
of the fiber optic. (5pts)
Question 2 (40pts):
1. When suspended in air, a biconvex lens with the same radius R has a focal length of f = 3
dm. The focal point is 8 dm distant from the lens when the lens is submerged in water, its
primary axis is vertical, and a parallel beam is shone vertically from the top down. Given
that water has a refractive index of 4/3, calculate R. (20pts).
2. Briefly describe Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma, and their current treatments. Why are
these methods used in 6 – 10 lines and use your own word.? (20pts)
Question 3 (30pts):
1. A monochromatic light ray strikes the side face AB of a prism whose cross-section is an
equilateral triangle ABC, parallel to the base BC. Rays coming out of AC have the same
direction as AC. Calculate the refractive index of the prism. (15pts)
2. A man plunged his feet into the crystal-clear lake water while seated on the shore. Water
has a refractive index of 3/2. The actual distance in centimeters between the person's feet
and the water's surface is 35. How close to the water's surface do the person's feet feel,
according to their eyes? (15pts)
