Question
Spider: A biologist is using a magnifying glass to look for insects in the jungle. On Day 22, after cataloging 232
different kinds of insects, she finds a spider instead. When she looks through the magnifying glass, she sees an
image of the spider 15.7 cm behind the lens and magnified by a factor of 18. (The spider's image is on the
same side of the lens as the spider.)
(a) What is the focal length of the magnifying glass?
(b) The biologist notices the spider is looking back at her! The biologist's eye is 7.6 cm from the lens. What
does the spider see looking through the lens? I.e., where is the image of the biologist's eye formed, and what is
its magnification?
