comfortable distance of 25.2 cm?
Answer in units of cm and round to one decimal place.

A pair of glasses is designed for a person with a far-point distance of 3.5 m so that she can read street signs 24.5 m away. (The far-point distance is the distance from the eye at which you are just able to properly focus a distant object.) (a) If the glasses are to be worn 1.0 cm from her eyes, what is the needed focal length? Now compare this focal length (find the percent difference) to the focal length she would need if she chooses a style of glasses that fit on her face so that the lenses are instead 2.0 cm away from her eyes.
An amateur astronomer decides to build a telescope from two lenses. One of the lenses has a focal length of 10.0 cm, and the other has a focal length of 1.4 cm. (a) Which lens should be the objective, for maximum magnification? (b) What will be the magnification of the telescope? (c) How long will the telescope tube be if the telescope is focused on a flower that is 1.00 meter away? (Keep four significant figures for this.)
