Question
A plano-convex lens with refraction index n=1.517, Front radius R1 = 10 cm is used to create image for an object placed 50 cm away from the lens. Find:
1)The focal length f of the lens.
2)The image position compared to the lens.
3)The magnification.

- A camera lens used for taking close-up photographs has a focal length of 25.0 mm. The farthest it can be placed from the film is 30.0 mm. (a) What is the closest object (in mm) that can be photographed? ANS: ___ mm What is the magnification of this closest object? ANS: _____ Xarrow_forwardA microscope has an objective lens with a focal length of 16.22 mm and an eyepiece with a focal length of 9.06 mm. With the length of the barrel set at 33.0 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 33.0 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. ?marrow_forwardAn object is placed 66 cm in front of a converging lens of focal length 9 cm. Another converging lens of focal length 14 cm is placed 26 cm behind the first lens. a) Find the position of the final image with respect to the second lens. cm b) Find the magnification of the final image.arrow_forward
- Homework 12 Problem 10: Two lenses are mounted d = 27 cm apart on an optical bench. The focal length of the first lens is f1 = 5.1 cm and that of the second lens is f2 = 4.4 cm. An object of height ho = 3.5 cm is placed at a distance of do = 21 cm in front of the first lens. Part (a) Ignoring the second lens for now, at what distance, in centimeters, behind the first lens is the object’s image formed by that lens? di = ______ Part (b) Calculate the magnification of that image, including its sign. m = ______ Part (c) Now consider the two-lens system and the final image it forms, i.e., the image created by the second lens. What is the distance, in centimeters, between the object and its final image? D = ______arrow_forwardA 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_forwardIn a compound microscope, the objective has a focal length of 1.0 cm, the eyepiece has a focal length of 2.0 cm, and the tube length is 25 cm.
