    @dskim24 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Hi! Thank you, Khan videos have helped me a lot! I just wanted to point out that the description of the lens use at 5:17 is not quite accurate in terms of the eye. That would be a _real image_, which you would not view in that manner (or at all). A real image is one that is actually formed on a surface, which could only be viewed from behind like that if there was, say, a plane of frosted glass or a piece of translucent paper. Real images are generally formed on film, sensors, retinas, etc. or viewed anew with your own eye forming _another_ image. In other words, a flat surface must be present to realize a real image, and it would probably be viewed from off axis.
    Yes, positive diopter lenses can be used in that schematic layout for corrective purposes, but that is to partially converge light (and not form an image yet) before your eye lens can form a real image on your retina (which would be the case for far-sightedness -- nearsightedness would require a negative diopter lens).
    Sorry, don't mean to be a stickler!

    • @dskim24
      @dskim24 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh. except if the image is inside the focal length, in which case the image would be upright and virtual. Magnifying glass style. Then yes, your eye would be there, but the rays would not be converging.

    on one of the practice problems amcas gave the equation /0 + 1/i = s and asked to solve for the strength of the person's eye. Looking back it was probably a plug and chug especially since they gave the equation but it was the first time I have seen this equation. I'm only familiar with the solving for focal length and magnification. Are there any videos on lens strength anywhere?

    • @Imubozuu

      +Noo Rii Not sure if it is too late, did you figure it out? I assume you're not getting this because you want to avoid using a calculator, which you do not need. First find common denominators to change -1/8 - 1/24 by multiplying by 3/3 to both. Then it becomes -3/24 - 1/24 which is -4/24, which reduces to -1/6. But you have to take the reciprocal in order to find your f, di, or do.

    • @michaelhafen
      @michaelhafen 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      At 10:15, we can simplify 1/-8cm - 1/24 cm into -1/6cm by finding the least common multiple of the denominators (aka multiply the top and bottom of one of the fractions so that they will add easily) :
      First, recognize that -1/8 is equivalent to -3/24. (multiply the numerator and denominator by 3).
      With the same denominator, -3/24 and -1/24 can be added to become -4/24.
      Simplifying -4/24, we get -1/6.

      @diegoarabit1202 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      We are subtracting fractions in this problem. Now in order to subtract fractions you must find common denominators. In this case 1/-8 and -1/24, the common denominator is 24, so multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/-8 by -3 to get -3/24, now you got a common denominator of 24, so you can subtract; -3/24 and -1/24 to get -4/24 you can now simplify this fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4 to get -1/6. I too was confused for a bit because he skipped this step in the video.

    Interesting how he can't explain the Algebra II concept of rotational integration, aka rotational volumetric integration about the center. This should be continued. He probably knows it now lol

    +ve or -ve also simplifies directions. What I have learnt is if anything two of these u, v and f have same signs then they are on the same side of the mirror. But that's not what he is saying.
    If say u and v are both positive then how can they be on different sides..
    THAT'S WRONG!!!!!!

    Not good. The issue of this video is how the image is formed. It is missing information.
