Question
Ch 26, problem 10
A spectator, seated in the left field stands, is watching a 2.0-m-tall baseball player who is 75 m away. On a TV screen, located 2.1 m from a person watching the game at home, the same player has a 0.15-m image. Find the angular size of the player as seen by (a) the spectator watching the game live and (b) the TV viewer.

This angle 0 in radians is related to the linear height of the object h and to the distance d by 0= h/d. Assume that you are driving a car and that another car, 1.50 m high, is 22.0 m behind you.

- For safety reasons, you install a rear-window lens with a -0.299 m focal length in your van. Before putting the van in reverse, you look through the lens and see the image of a person who appears to be 0.339 m tall and 0.243 m behind the van. Determine the following.

- A farsighted person can read printing as close as 25.0 cm when she wears contacts that have a focal length of 38.0 cm. One day, however, she forgets her contacts and uses a magnifying glass, as in the drawing. It has a maximum angular magnification of 7.42 for a young person with a normal near point of 25.0 cm. What is the maximum angular magnification that the magnifying glass can provide for her?

You spot a fish in a shallow river. Your first instinct is to aim the spear where you see the image of the fish, at an angle $ = 43.40° with respect to the vertical, as shown in the figure. %3D However, you know from physics class that you should not Image throw the spear at the image of the fish, because the actual location of the fish is farther down than it appears, at a depth H. of H = 0.9000 m. This means you must decrease the angle at which you throw the spear. This slight decrease in the angle is represented as a in the figure. If you throw the spear from a height h = 1.150 m above the %3D water, calculate the angle decrease a.

What is the diameter (magnitude only) of the image (cm) of the moon? HINT: What is the property of the rays coming from one point on the edge of the Moon (think of the moon as being infinitely far away)? Where do those rays converge to form an image of that point?
