- A person decides to use an old pair of eyeglasses to make some optical instruments. He knows that the near point in his left eye is 58.0 cm and the near point in his right eye is 106 cm. (a) What is the maximum angular magnification he can produce in a telescope? (b) If he places the lenses 10.0 cm apart, what is the maximum overall magnification he can produce in a microscope? Hint: Go back to basics and use the thin-lens equation to solve part (b).arrow_forwardASAParrow_forwardA patient cannot clearly see any object that lies closer than 32.0 cm to her right eye. However, the patient wishes to see objects as close as 20.0 cm with that eye. The patient requests eyeglasses to address the problem. (a) Is the patient nearsighted or farsighted? nearsightedfarsighted (b) If the eyeglass lens lies 2.10 cm in front of the patient's eye, what is the minimum distance p (in cm) separating the lens from an object she wants to see? (Give your answer to at least three significant digits.) cm (c) The patient is unable to focus clearly on anything closer than 32.0 cm to her eye (this being the patient's near point). The image formed by the eyeglass lens must therefore be 32.0 cm from the eye. How far, then, (in cm) would the image lie from the lens? (Give your answer to at least three significant digits.) cm (d) The image lies on the same side of the lens as the original object. Is the image real or virtual, and is its position q positive or…arrow_forward
- Suppose a person's eyes have a relaxed power of 50.62 D. Assume a 2.00 cm distance from the retina to the lens of the eye. What is the far point of the person in m?arrow_forwardA farsighted librarian wears her 3.84-D refractive power eyeglasses 0.0300 m from her eyes and is able to read books held no closer than 0.264 m from her eyes. As a matter of convenience, she decides to switch to contacts. Determine the refractive power for her contact lens prescription.arrow_forwardA laser beam of diameter d₁-1.1 mm is directed along the optical axis of a thin lens of focal length +4.7 cm (see figure below). (a) How far from the lens will the beam be focused? (b) A second positive lens is placed to the right of the first. Light emerges from the second lens in a parallel beam of diameter dy 3.6 mm. Thus the combination of lenses acts as a beam expander. Find the focal length of the second lens. Find the distance between the lenses.arrow_forward

The diameter of the sun is 1.39 × 10⁹ m, and its mean distance from the earth is 1.50 × 1011 m. The camper is using a converging lens whose focal length is 10.3 cm. (a) What is the area of the sun's image on the paper? (b) If 0.752 W of sunlight pass through the lens, what is the intensity of the sunlight at the paper?
