- Problem 5: Two converging lenses, one with a focal length of 22.0 cm and the other with a focal length of 10.0 cm, are placed 25.0 cm apart with an object placed 50.0 cm in front of the converging lens. Determine (a) the position and (b) the magnification of the final image formed. (c) Show by ray tracing that the image is virtual or real, and determine the image distance and magnification. You must draw the ray diagram to scale to you may also use drawing/drafting software to draw the diagram.arrow_forwardA compound microscope has a distance of 161 mm between the objective lens and the eyepiece. The focal lengths of the objective and the eyepiece are 4.03 mm and 25.9 mm, respectively. Determine the magnitude of the total angular magnification ? of the microscope for a person whose near point is 25.0 cm away.arrow_forwardConsider a 10D lens that is used to image an object located 30 cm in front of the lens.

- In a two-lens system, the focl length of the lens is f1 = 4.00 cm, and that of then lens 2 is f2 = 8.00 cm. The distance between the lenses is 16 cm. If an object O is 2.00 cm high and is placed 6.00 cm in front of the lens 1, where is the final image through the two-lens system?arrow_forwardAn object and an image screen are separated by 50 cm. There are two locations betweenthem where a thin lens with f = 8 cm can be placed so that a focused image forms on thescreen. Find the two positions.arrow_forwardThe owner of a van installs a rear-window lens that has a focal length of -0.310 m. When the owner looks out through the lens at an object located directly behind the van, the object appears to be 0.250 m from the back of the van, and appears to be 0.330 m tall. (a) How far from the van is the object actually located, and (b) how tall is the object? Rear-window lens (a) Number i (b) Number i Units Units Person Image of personarrow_forward
- What is the focal length of the lens in your eye when you can focus on an object at your near point? Assume that the distance from your lens to the back of your eye is 2.0 cm, that your near point is 21 cm in front of your lens, and that the liquid behind the lens has n=1.00 just like the air in front of your lens.

The object accelerates toward the lens at a constant rate of 0.300 cm/s?. At what time will the magnification of the image produced be -2.00?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
