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_forward
- A glass lens (?=1.60) has a focal length of ?=−32.7 cm and a plano‑concave shape. Calculate the magnitude R of the radius of curvature of the concave surface. R = ?cm If a lens is constructed from the same glass to form a plano‑convex shape with the same radius of curvature magnitude, what will the focal length f' be? f' = ? cmarrow_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.
