Correct Detailed Answers
1. Compound myopic astigmatism - ANSWER no longer simple because all
rays hit different spots on the retina, all falling too short (some further than
others)
2. Compound myopic astigmatism example - ANSWER -1.00-0.50*180
-3.00-1.25*045
3. Compound hyperopic astigmatism - ANSWER no longer simple because all
rays hit different spots, all falling beyond the retina(some further than others)
4. Compound hyperopic astigmatism example - ANSWER +1.00-0.50*180
+3.00-1.00*045
5.Mixed astigmatism - ANSWER some rays fall ahead of the retina while other
fall beyond it. vision will be poor in all areas.
,7. Visible spectrum of light - ANSWER 400nm-700nm (nanometers)
6. refraction - ANSWER Bending of light(change of direction/speed), allowing
optical lenses to alter the bath of light rays
