- In order to heighten your enjoyment of your 29 carat blue diamond, you view it through a lens held close to your right eye at an angular magnification of 5.1. The distance of your right eye's near point is 25 cm. What is the focal length f of the lens in centimeters? f = ?cmarrow_forwardA lens with a 0.98 meter focal length is placed right in front of a -3.6 meter focal length. A small object is placed 1.6 m in front of the two lenses. What is the magnification of the image formed by the two lenses? The space between the lenses is minuscule.arrow_forwardThe objective lens of a microscope is a planoconvex (flat on one side) lens that has a short focal length of 7.6 mm. The focusing knob on the microscope moves the object toward or away from the objective lens. The microscope is designed so that the object will be seen in focus through the eyepiece when the objective lens forms a real image of the object 160 mm behind the objective lens. (a) At what object distance in mm is the microscope focused? (b) What is the lateral magnification of the objective lens?(c) Account for the resulting image shown in the figure, i.e. using your calculations, justify that indeed the image is real, magnified, and inverted.arrow_forward

When an object 1.9 m (190 cm) away is being photographed, what is the magnification?arrow_forwardYou want to purchase a microscope for doing surgeries, which requires that there is at least 10cm distance between the objective lens and the patient. The objective forms a highly magnified real image of the object at a distance L. You want the image to look 50 times larger. What should be focal lengths of the objective and the eye piece assuming L=200mmarrow_forwardTwo converging lenses, each of focal length 14.9 cm, are placed 39.6 cm apart, and an object is placed 30.0 cm in front of the first lens. Where is the final image formed? The image is located cm ---Location--- in front of the first lens. in front of the second lens. behind the second lens. What is the magnification of the system?

- The distance between the eyepiece and the objective lens in a certain compound microscope is 19.0 cm. The focal length of the eyepiece is 2.45 cm and that of the objective is 0.395 cm. What is the overall magnification of the microscope? dditiarrow_forwardThe distance between the lenses in a compound microscope is 18 cm. The focal length of the objective is 1.5 cm. If the microscope is to provide an angular magnification of - 68 when used by a person with a normal near point (25 cm from the eye), what must be the focal length of the eyepiece?arrow_forwardThe distance between the eyepiece and the objective lens in a certain compound microscope is 10.4 cm. The focal length of the objective is 0.430 cm, and that of the eyepiece is 1.40 cm. Find the overall magnification of the microscope. (The near point of the eye is 25 cm. Assume that the object is placed at the focal point of the objective lens, and one places the eyepiece at the near point of the eye.)arrow_forward
