In a universe where everyone has telescopic vision that allows them to zoom in on distant objects as if using binoculars, Zephyr stands on one end of a long, straight street and spots a peculiar-looking bird perched atop a streetlamp at the other end. Zephyr's friend Yara, who is standing halfway between Zephyr and the bird, is looking at the same bird. If Zephyr uses his telescopic vision to look at the bird at the same moment that Yara waves her hand, will Zephyr see Yara's wave with as much clarity as he sees the bird? Respond very briefly.
Zephyr will not see Yara's wave with as much clarity as he sees the bird. Zephyr's telescopic vision is focused on the distant bird atop the streetlamp which is further away than where Yara is standing. For telescopic vision (like using actual binoculars), only objects at the focal distance - in this case, the bird - will appear clear and magnified. Objects that are not at the same focal distance, such as Yara's wave, will appear blurry. Therefore, when Zephyr focuses on the bird, his vision is not optimized for viewing objects at Yara's intermediate distance, and he will see Yara and her wave less clearly.
