- Figure P26.39 diagrams a cross-section of a camera. It has a single lens of focal length 65.0 mm, which is to form an image on the CCD (charge-coupled device) at the back of the camera. Suppose the position of the lens has been adjusted to focus the image of a distant object. How far and in what direction must the lens be moved to form a sharp image of an object that is 2.00 m away? Figure P26.39arrow_forwardA microscope has an objective lens with a focal length of 16.22 mm and an eyepiece with a focal length of 9.50 mm. With the length of the barrel set at 29.0 cm, the diameter of a red blood cells image subtends an angle of 1.43 mrad with the eye. It the final image distance is 29.0 cm from the eyepiece, what is the actual diameter of the red blood cell? Hint: To solve this question, go back to basics and use the thin-lens equation.arrow_forwardSuppose a man stands in front of a mirror as shown in Figure 25.50. His eyes are 1.65 m above the floor, and the top of his head is 0.13 m higher. Find the height above the floor of the top and bottom of the smallest mirror in which he can see both the top of his head and his feet. How is this distance related to the man’s height? Figure 25.50 A full-length mirror is one in which you can see all of yourself. It need not be as big as you, and its size is independent of your distance from it.arrow_forward

- Two thin lenses of focal lengths f1 = 15.0 and f2 = 10.0 cm, respectively, are separated by 35.0 cm along a common axis. The f1 lens is located to the left of the f2 lens. An object is now placed 50.0 cm to the left of the f1 lens, and a final image due to light passing though both lenses forms. By what factor is the final image different in size from the object?

(a) What is the magnification? (b) Where is the image? (c) Find the radius of curvature of the convex mirror formed by the cornea. (Note that this technique is used by optometrists to measure the curvature of the cornea for contact lens ?tting. The instrument used is called a keratometer, or curve measurer.)arrow_forwardAn object is placed a distance of 10.0 cm to the left of a thin converging lens of focal length f = 8.00 cm, and a concave spherical mirror with radius of curvature +18.0 cm is placed a distance of 45.0 cm to the right of the lens (Fig. P38.129). a. What is the location of the final image formed by the lensmirror combination as seen by an observer positioned to the left of the object? b. What is the magnification of the final image as seen by an observer positioned to the left of the object? c. Is the final image formed by the lensmirror combination upright or inverted?

- In Figure P26.38, a thin converging lens of focal length 14.0 cm forms an image of the square abcd, which is hc = hb = 10.0 cm high and lies between distances of pd = 20.0 cm and pa = 30.0 cm from the lens. Let a, b, c, and d represent the respective corners of the image. Let qa represent the image distance for points a and b, qd represent the image distance for points c and d, hb represent the distance from point b to the axis, and hc represent the height of c. (a) Find qa, qd, hb, and hc. (b) Make a sketch of the image. (c) The area of the object is 100 cm2. By carrying out the following steps, you will evaluate the area of the image. Let q represent the image distance of any point between a and d, for which the object distance is p. Let h represent the distance from the axis to the point at the edge of the image between b and c at image distance q. Demonstrate that h=10.0q(114.01q) where h and q are in centimeters.

(a) What is the magnitude of the lateral magnification (the ratio of the image size to the object size) produced by the lens? (b) What angular magnification is achieved by viewing the image of the leaf rather than viewing the loaf directly? Figure P25.25arrow_forward
