- Can an image be larger than the object even though its magnification is negative? Explain.arrow_forwardPhysics An object 1.1 cm high is viewed under a magnifier of focal length 9.0 cm by a person with a near point of 28 cm and a far point of ∞. (a) Find the angle subtended by the image formed by the magnifier when the eye is relaxed. (b) Find the angle subtended by the image formed by the magnifier when the eye is focused at its near pointarrow_forwardIf a lens is immersed in water, its focallength changes, as discussed in Conceptual Example 26-17.(a) If a spherical mirror is immersed in water, does its focal lengthincrease, decrease, or stay the same? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:I. The focal length will increase because the water will causemore bending of light.II. Water will refract the light. This, combined with the reflection due to the mirror, will result in a decreased focal length.III. The focal length stays the same because it depends on thefact that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection for a mirror. This is unaffected by the presence of thewaterarrow_forward
- During LASIK eye surgery (laser - assisted in situ keratomileusis), the shape of the cornea is modified by vaporizing some of its material. If the surgery is performed to correct for nearsightedness, how does the cornea need to be reshaped?arrow_forwardA glass rod n=1.55 is ground and polished at each end into convex hemispheres with a radius of curvature of magnitude 6 cm. When an object is placed on the axis of the rod, 25cm to the left of the left-hand end, the final real image is formed 65cm to the right of the right-hand end when the rod is surrounded by air. What is the length of the rod measured between the vertices of the two hemispherical surfaces? What is the overall magnification, and is the final image inverted or not?arrow_forwardHow could you very quickly make an approximate measurement of the focal length of a converging lens? Could the same method be applied if you wished to use a diverging lens? Explain.arrow_forward
- Which rules of ray tracing apply to converging lenses? Check all that apply. -A ray that passes through the center (i.e. the principal axis) will continue traveling in that same direction. -A ray that passes through the center of the lens and then parallel to the optical axis on the other side of the lens. -A ray that comes into the lens parallel to the principal axis will refract through the lens and travel through the focal point. -A ray that comes through the focal point on the way to the lens will refract and travel parallel to the principal axis on the other side.arrow_forwardYou have a concave spherical mirror (the same holds if you had a convex mirror) If the value of q (the distance from the image to the mirror along the principal axis of the mirror) is 0.92m and the distance of p (the distance from the object to the mirror along the principal axis of the mirror) is 3.79m, what is the focal length of the mirror? The magnification equation and the sign convention for q imply that real images of real objects are always inverted (if both p and q are positive, m is negative); virtual images of real objects are always upright (if p is positive and q is negative, m is positive). Keeping the signs of p and q straight in your mind is the most challenging aspect of mirrors (and lenses). Fortunately, table 23.2 summarizes when p and q are positive and when they are negative.arrow_forwardWhen you hold an insect at the near point of your eye it subtends an angle of 5.00 10-3 rad. Determine the angular size (magnitude only) of the insect when viewed through a microscope that has an angular magnification with a magnitude of 165.arrow_forward
- If a concave mirror produces a real image, is the imagenecessarily inverted? Explain.arrow_forwardYou unconsciously estimate the distance to an object from the angle it subtends in your field of view. This angle θ in radians is related to the linear height of the object h and to the distance d by θ = h/d. Assume you are driving a car and another car, 1.50 m high, is 24.0 m behind you. (a) Suppose your car has a flat passenger-side rearview mirror, 1.55 m from your eyes. How far from your eyes is the image of the car following you? (b) What angle does the image subtend in your field of view? (c) What If? Now suppose your car has a convex rearview mirror with a radius of curvature ofmagnitude 2.00 m (as suggested as shown). How far from your eyes is the image of the car behind you? (d) What angle does the image subtend at your eyes? (e) Based on its angular size, how far away does the following car appear to be?arrow_forward
