- Two lenses are placed along an optical rail. One is a converging lens, with a focal length of f1 = 30.3 cm. The second lens, a diverging lens with a focal length of f2 = −20.0 cm, is placed d = 110 cm to the right of the converging lens. An object ho = 2.02 cm high is placed p1 = 40.5 cm to the left of the converging lens. (a) Determine the position of the final image. (Enter the position in cm relative to the diverging lens.) magnitude ? cm direction right or left? of the diverging lens (b) Determine the magnification of the final image. (Indicate the orientation with the sign of your answer.) Hint* The total magnification is the product of each individual magnification. (c) Is the image upright or inverted? (d) Repeat parts (a) through (c) for the case in which the second lens is a converging lens having a focal length of 20.0 cm. (Enter the position in cm relative to the second lens.

(b) What is the net focal length?arrow_forwardAn optometrist needs to prescribe corrective lenses for a person whose near point is q = 58.8 cm. If the patient is to see objects clearly at a distance of p = 25.0 cm, calculate the following. (Neglect the distance from the lens to the eye.) (a) focal length (in cm) of the appropriate corrective lens cm (b) power (in diopters) of the appropriate corrective lens dioptersarrow_forward
- A pair of glasses is designed for a person with a far-point distance of 3.5 m so that she can read street signs 24.5 m away. (The far-point distance is the distance from the eye at which you are just able to properly focus a distant object.) (a) If the glasses are to be worn 1.0 cm from her eyes, what is the needed focal length? Now compare this focal length (find the percent difference) to the focal length she would need if she chooses a style of glasses that fit on her face so that the lenses are instead 2.0 cm away from her eyes.arrow_forward(a) Where is the near point of an eye for which a contact lens with a power of +2.75 diopters is prescribed? (b) Where is the far point of an eye for which a contact lens with a power of -1.30 diopters is prescribed for distant vision?arrow_forward(part 1 of 3) A person with a nearsighted eye has near and far points of 10 cm and 23 cm, respectively. Assuming a lens is placed 2.7 cm from the eye, what power must the lens have to correct this condition? Answer in units of diopter. (part 2 of 3) Contact lenses placed directly on the cornea are used to correct the eye. What is the power of the lens required in this case? Answer in units of diopter. (part 3 of 3) 1 What is the new near point? Answer in units of cm.arrow_forward
- A person sees clearly wearing eyeglasses that have a power of -4.00 diopters when the lenses are 2.00 cm in front of the eyes. (a) What is the focal length of the lens? (b) Is the person nearsighted or farsighted? (c) If the person wants to switch to contact lenses placed directly on the eyes, what lens power should be prescribed?arrow_forwardPlease Asaparrow_forwardA nearsighted person has a far point of 25.3cm and is prescribed contact lenses to correct her vision. What lens strength (a.k.a., lens power), in Diopters, should be prescribed? Give your answer using the usual convention of positive values for converging lenses and negative values for diverging lenses.arrow_forward
