Discover the Near Point: Understanding Optical Instruments and Clear Vision

AI Thread Summary
The closest distance at which the eye can see objects clearly is known as the near point. This concept is crucial for understanding optical instruments and achieving clear vision. The near point varies among individuals and can be affected by factors such as age and vision health. The discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing this distance for effective vision correction. Further information can be found at the provided link.

Whats up?
I have a question, please?

What is the closest distance at which an eye can see objects clearly?

My answer is the near point, is that right?

Thanks!
Dx :wink:

Yes, that is correct! The near point is the closest distance at which an eye can see objects clearly without any visual aids. It is an important concept to understand when it comes to optical instruments and achieving clear vision. Do you have any other questions or concerns? I would be happy to help answer them.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
