* Repeat the procedure described in Problem 23.27 for the following lenses and objects (a) an object that is 30 cm from a concave lens of -10-cm focal length, (b) an object that is 14 cm from the same lens, and (c) an object that is 5 cm from the same lens.
* Use a ruler to draw ray diagrams to locate the images of the following objects: (a) an object that is 30 cm from a convex lens of +10-cm focal length, (b) an object that is 14 cm from the same lens, and (c) an object that is 5 cm from the same lens. (Choose a scale so that your drawing fills a significant portion of the width of a paper.) Measure the image locations on your drawings and indicate if they are real or virtual, upright or inverted.

- An object 1.50 cm high is held 3.00 cm from a person’s cornea, and its reflected image is measured to be 0.167 cm high. (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 fitting. The instrument used is called a keratometer, or curve measurer.)arrow_forwardA lens is used to examine an object across a room. Is the lens probably being used as a simple magnifier? Explain in terms of focal length, the image, and magnification.arrow_forwardA person sees clearly wearing eyeglasses that have a power of -4.00 diopters when the lenses are 2.00 cm in front of the eyes. (a) What is the focal length of the lens? (b) Is the person nearsighted or farsighted? (c) If the person wants to switch to contact lenses placed directly on the eyes, what lens power should be prescribed?arrow_forward
- An amoeba is 0.305 cm away from the 0.300 cm- focal length objective lens of a microscope. (a) Where is the image formed by the objective lens? (b) What is this image’s magnification? (C) An eyepiece with a 2.00-cm focal length is placed 20.0 cm from the objective. Where is the final image? (d) What angular magnification is produced by the eyepiece? (e) What is the overall magnification? (See Figure 2.39.)arrow_forwardAn observer to the right of the mirror-lens combination shown in Figure P36.89 (not to scale) sees two real images that are the same size and in the same location. One image is upright, and the other is inverted. Both images are 1.50 times larger than the object. The lens has a focal length of 10.0 cm. The lens and mirror are separated by 40.0 cm. Determine the focal length of the mirror.arrow_forwardSuppose you want to use a converging lens to project the image of two trees onto a screen. As show n in Figure CQ36.9, one tree is a distance x from the lens and the other is at 2x. You adjust the screen so that the near tree is in locus. It you now want the far tree to be in focus, do you move the screen toward or away from the lens?arrow_forward
