- Steve is planning to commandeer the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) so that he can spy on his rival, Brad. The primary mirror of HST is 2.4 m in diameter. At what altitude will Steve need to pilot HST in order to resolve things on a 3.0 cm scale at Brad’s remote compound? Please show a step by step process with equations, with full explanations, and given units.arrow_forwardA 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_forwardIt's nighttime, and you've dropped your goggles into a 2.8-m-deep swimming pool. If you hold a laser pointer 1.0 m above the edge of the pool, you can illuminate the goggles if the laser beam enters the water 2.1 m from the edge. How far are the goggles from the edge of the pool? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. d = μÅ Value Units ?arrow_forward

- An office administrator realizes that she is having trouble doing her work due to eyesight problems. Her optometrist determines that without glasses she can focus clearly only on objects that lie at distances between 0.450 m and 4.00 m. The optometrist decides that the best way to handle her eyesight problems is to prescribe bifocals that will give her normal visual acuity from 25.0 cm out to infinity. After trying on several pairs of glasses frames, they agree that the glasses will be a distance of 2.20 cm from her eyes. (a) Determine the refractive power needed for the bifocal part that will correct for her nearsightedness (include the sign). D What type of lens is needed?
