- Open QuestionA thin lens with a focal length of 6.00 cm is used as a simple magnifier. (a) What angular magnification is obtainable with the lens if the object is at the focal point?
- Open QuestionBIO A person can see clearly up close but cannot focus on objects beyond 75.0 cm. She opts for contact lenses to correct her vision. (c) What focal length contact lens is needed, and what is its power in diopters?
- Open QuestionBIO A person can see clearly up close but cannot focus on objects beyond 75.0 cm. She opts for contact lenses to correct her vision. (a) Is she nearsighted or farsighted?
- Open QuestionBIO Ordinary Glasses. Ordinary glasses are worn in front of the eye and usually 2.0 cm in front of the eyeball. Suppose that the person in Exercise 34.52 prefers ordinary glasses to contact lenses. What focal length lenses are needed to correct his vision, and what is their power in diopters?
- Open QuestionBIO (a) Where is the near point of an eye for which a contact lens with a power of +2.75 diopters is prescribed?
- Open QuestionA telescope is constructed from two lenses with focal lengths of 95.0 cm and 15.0 cm, the 95.0-cm lens being used as the objective. Both the object being viewed and the final are at infinity. (b) Find the height of the formed by the objective of a building 60.0 m tall, 3.00 km away.
- Open QuestionResolution of a Microscope. The formed by a microscope objective with a focal length of 5.00 mm is 160 mm from its second focal point. The eyepiece has a focal length of 26.0 mm. (a) What is the angular magnification of the microscope?
- Open QuestionThe focal length of the eyepiece of a certain microscope is 18.0 mm. The focal length of the objective is 8.00 mm. The distance between objective and eyepiece is 19.7 cm. The final formed by the eyepiece is at infinity. Treat all lenses as thin. (b) What is the magnitude of the linear magnification produced by the objective?
- Open QuestionThe focal length of a simple magnifier is 8.00 cm. Assume the magnifier is a thin lens placed very close to the eye. (b) If the object is 1.00 mm high, what is the height of its formed by the magnifier?
- Open QuestionBIO Contact Lenses. Contact lenses are placed right on the eyeball, so the distance from the eye to an object (or ) is the same as the distance from the lens to that object (or ). A certain person can see distant objects well, but his near point is 45.0 cm from his eyes instead of the usual 25.0 cm. (a) Is this person nearsighted or farsighted?
- Open QuestionA lightbulb is 3.0 m from a wall. What are the focal length and the position (measured from the bulb) of a lens that will form an on the wall that is twice the size of the lightbulb?
- Open QuestionA lens forms an of an object. The object is 16.0 cm from the lens. The is 12.0 cm from the lens on the same side as the object. (a) What is the focal length of the lens? Is the lens converging or diverging?
- Open QuestionA converging lens with a focal length of 70.0 cm forms an of a 3.20-cm-tall real object that is to the left of the lens. The is 4.50 cm tall and inverted. Where are the object and located in relation to the lens? Is the real or virtual?
