- Mike holds a magnifying glass (convex lens) 5.00 cm above a sheet of paper. He looks at the writing on the page and notices that it is magnified by a factor of 3.00. What is the focal length of the lens he is using? a 2.00 cm b 4.00 cm c 7.50 cm d 3.75 cmarrow_forwardA small object 1.0 cm high is placed on the principal axis 8.0 cm from a convex spherical mirror with a focal length of 12 cm. What is the position and size of the image formed?arrow_forwardA converging lens of focal length f=2 cm is used to focus the image of an object onto a screen. The object and screen are separated by 15 cm. The lens is placed between the object and the screen, at a distance from the screen such that the image of the object is focused into the screen. At what distance from the screen must the lens be placed in order to have an image magnification < 1? Provide your answer to two significant figures. distance = cm.arrow_forward
