(a) What lens power is needed to correct his nearsightedness? 1.96 X The response you submitted has the wrong sign. diopters (b) When the lenses are in use, what is this person's near point? 11 X Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. cmarrow_forwardThe projection lens in a certain slide projector is a single thin lens. A slide 24.8 mm high is to be projected so that its image fills a screen 1.82 m high. The slide-to-screen distance is 3.04 m. (Enter your answers to at least one decimal place.) (a) Determine the focal length of the projection lens. mm (b) How far from the slide should the lens of the projector be placed to form the image on the screen? mmarrow_forward
- A microscope has an objective lens with a focal length of 16.22 mm and an eyepiece with a focal length of 9.28 mm. With the length of the barrel set at 35.0 cm, the diameter of a red blood cell's image subtends an angle of 1.43 mrad with the eye. If the final image distance is 35.0 cm from the eyepiece, what is the actual diameter of the red blood cell? Hint: To solve this equation, go back to basics and use the thin-lens equation. umarrow_forwardAn object of height 5.50 cm is placed 33.0 cm to the left of a converging lens with a focal length of 10.5 cm. Determine the image location in cm, the magnification, and the image height in cm.

- A measurement indicates that a patient cannot clearly see any object that lies closer than 60.8 cm to the patient's eye. (a) Which of the following terms best describes this distance? far pointnear point magnificationfocal length (b) The patient needs to be able to clearly see objects that are just 24.0 cm distant. A contact lens is made to order. What focal length (in cm) should this lens have? Assume the lens can be modeled as an ideal thin lens, which lies adjacent to the eye. cm (c) What is the power, P, of the contact lens (in diopters)? dioptersarrow_forwardThe projection lens in a certain slide projector is a single thin lens.
