- Suppose an object has thickness dp so that it extends from object distance p to p + dp. (a) Prove that the thickness dq of its image is given by (q2/p2)dp. (b) The longitudinal magnification of the object is Mlong = dq/dp. How is the longitudinal magnification related to the lateral magnification M?arrow_forwardA dedicated sports car enthusiast polishes the inside outside surfaces of a hubcap that is a thin section of a sphere. When she looks into one side of the hubcap. she sees an image of her face 30.0 cm in back of the hubcap. She then flips the hubcap over and sees another image of her face 10.0 cm in back of the hubcap. (a) How far is her face from the hubcap? (b) What is the radius of curvature of the hubcap?arrow_forward(a) What is the focal length of a magnifying glass that produces a magnification of 3.00 when held 5.00 cm from an object such as a rare coin? (b) Calculate the power of the magnifier in diopters. (c) Discuss how this power compares to those for store-bought reading glasses (typically 1.0 to 4.0 D). Is the magnifier's power greater, and should it be?arrow_forward
- Can an image be larger than the object even though its magnification is negative? Explain.arrow_forward(a) What is the maximum angular magnification of an eyeglass lens having a focal length of 18.0 cm when used as a simple magnifier? (b) What is the magnification of this lens when the eye is relaxed?arrow_forwardSome telephoto cameras use a mirror rather than a lens. What radius of curvature mirror is needed to replace a 800 mm focal length telephoto lens?arrow_forward
- An object 1.50 cm high is held 3.00 cm from a person’s cornea, and its reflected image is measured to be 0.16? cm high. (a) What is the magnification? (b) Where is the image? (c) Find the radius of curvature of the convex mirror formed by the cornea. (Note that this technique is used by optometrists to measure the curvature of the cornea for contact lens ?tting. The instrument used is called a keratometer, or curve measurer.)arrow_forwardWhat is the focal length of a pane of window glass? (a) zero (b) infinity (c) the thickness of the glass (d) impossible to determinearrow_forwardA biology student uses a simple magnifier to examine the structural features of an insects wing. The wing is held 3.50 cm in front of the lens, and the image is formed 25.0 cm from the eye. (a) What is the focal length of the lens? (b) What angular magnification is achieved?arrow_forward
- Andy decides to use an old pair of eyeglasses to make some optical instruments. He knows that the near point in his left eye is 50.0 cm and the near point in his right eve is 100 cm. (a) What is the maximum angular magnification he can produce in a telescope? (b) If he places the lenses 10.0 cm apart, what is the maximum overall magnification he can produce in a microscope? Hint: Go back to basics and use the thin lens equation to solve part (b).arrow_forwardThe accommodation limits for a nearsighted persons eyes are 18.0 cm and 80.0 cm. When he wears his glasses, he can see faraway objects clearly. At what minimum distance is he able to see objects clearly?arrow_forwardAn object 10.0 cm tall is placed at the zero mark of a meter-stick. A spherical mirror located at some point on the meter-stick creates an image of the object that is upright, 4.00 cm tall, and located at the 42.0-cm mark of the meterstick.
