Question
![1. The figure below shows the formation of the image in the simple magnifier (top) and in
the unaided eye (bottom) for an object of height h. For the simple magnifier, the object
is placed at the focal point of a converging lens of focal length f. For the unaided eye,
the object is placed at the eye's near point dnear for maximum image size.

a) For the simple magnifier, determine the visual angle 0 in terms of h and f.
Assume that 0 is small (sin 0 = 0 = tan 0), and note that, because the emergent
rays are parallel, O is the angle between these rays and the principal axis at every
point. [1]
b) For the unaided eye, determine the visual angle 0. in terms of h and dnear.
Assume that Oo is small. [1]
c) Determine the angular magnification for the simple magnifier in terms of f
using a near point of 25 cm. [1]
d) Determine the focal length of the lens required to form a simple magnifier of
angular magnification of 10. [1]](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/43352019-f8b0-4456-9b0d-8df4fdc3f26c/5afb31ba-1662-4c16-92aa-2824a7f80405/fcgkx1k_thumbnail.jpeg)
