- A nearsighted person wears glasses to correct the problem. The lenses in the glasses have a focal length of -449 cm and are worn 2.0 cm from the eyes. With the glasses the person can see an object clearly that is very far away. How far from the eyes is the person's far point located?arrow_forwardA 2.0-cm-tall object is located 8.0 cm in front of a converging lens with a focal length of 10 cm. Use ray tracing to determine the location and height of the image. Is the image upright or inverted? Is it real or virtual?arrow_forwardAn object is located 16.6 cm to the left of a diverging lens having a focal length f = −32.4 cm. What is the magnification of the image? Group of answer choices 0.661 2.13 0.346 1.17arrow_forward
- The 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_forwardWhat 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. (a) 1.8 cm (b) 18 cm (c) 2.1 cm (d) 21 cm (e) None of the above.arrow_forwardYou place an object 21.2 cm in front of a diverging lens which has a focal length with a magnitude of 12.2 cm. Determine how far in front of the lens the object should be placed in order to produce an image that is reduced by a factor of 2.70.cmarrow_forward
- A farsighted person can read printing as close as 25.0 cm when she wears contacts that have a focal length of 38.0 cm. One day, however, she forgets her contacts and uses a magnifying glass, as in the drawing. It has a maximum angular magnification of 7.42 for a young person with a normal near point of 25.0 cm. What is the maximum angular magnification that the magnifying glass can provide for her? Virtual Magnifying glass Object LE ho dj. imagearrow_forwardA 1.7 m tall person stands 8.0 m in front of a camera with a 5.0 cm focal length converging lens. What is the size of the image formed on film? 68.0 cm O 23.5 cm 2.7 cm 0.37 cm 1.1 cm 5.0 cmarrow_forwardA nearsighted person has a far point of 25.3cm and is prescribed contact lenses to correct her vision. What lens strength (a.k.a., lens power), in Diopters, should be prescribed? Give your answer using the usual convention of positive values for converging lenses and negative values for diverging lenses.arrow_forward
