A 5.0-mm focal-length objective lens and 60-mm focal-length eyepiece in a simple microscope are separated by a distance of 30 cm. If a human blood cell on a microscope slide is located 0.10 mm behind the focal length of the objective lens, what is the magnification of the microscope?

- A microscope in the lab uses a lens with a focal length of 8.0 mm and an eyepiece with a focal length of 18 mm. The distance between the lens and the eyepiece is 19.7 cm. We use the microscope so that the eyes focus as if the object were placed infinitely far away. We treat the lenses as if they were "thin". b) How much linear magnification does the lens (alone) give?c) How much magnification does the eyepiece give alone?d) How is magnification defined for a microscope?e) What is the magnification of this microscope?arrow_forwardA compound microscope consisting of a shinny lens with a focal length of 10 mm and an eyepiece with a focal length (cm 2) and tube length (20 cm), what will the magnification be for the microscope? 350 450 O 550 250 O 150arrow_forwardThe distance between the objective and eyepiece lenses in a microscope is 21 cm .

- A camera is equipped with a lens with a focal length of 33 cm. When an object 2.9 m (290 cm) away is being photographed, what is the magnification?arrow_forwardThe distance between the lenses in a compound microscope is 18 cm. The focal length of the objective is 1.5 cm. If the microscope is to provide an angular magnification of - 68 when used by a person with a normal near point (25 cm from the eye), what must be the focal length of the eyepiece?arrow_forwardIf you are nearsighted, the lenses that correct your vision are diverging lenses. It’s possible to estimate the focal length of the lens, which correlates with your prescription, by noting the magnification. Jordan holds one lens of her glasses above a coin on the table and estimates a magnification of m = 2/3. She measures the distance from her lens to the coin to be 24 cm. What is the focal length of the lens?arrow_forward
