A typical red blood cell subtends an angle of only 1.93E-5 rad when viewed at a person's near-point distance of 25.0 cm. Suppose a red blood cell is examined with a compound microscope in which the objective and eyepiece are separated by a distance of 11.0 cm. Given that the focal length of the eyepiece is 2.84 cm, and the focal length of the objective is 0.481 cm, the magnitude of the angle subtended by the red blood cell when viewed through this microscope. calculate

A microscope has an objective lens with a focal length of 16.22 mm and an eyepiece with a focal length of 9.28 mm. With the length of the barrel set at 35.0 cm, the diameter of a red blood cell's image subtends an angle of 1.43 mrad with the eye. If the final image distance is 35.0 cm from the eyepiece, what is the actual diameter of the red blood cell? Hint: To solve this equation, go back to basics and use the thin-lens equation. um
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.
The distance between the eyepiece and the objective lens in a certain compound microscope is 10.4 cm. The focal length of the objective is 0.430 cm, and that of the eyepiece is 1.40 cm. Find the overall magnification of the microscope. (The near point of the eye is 25 cm. Assume that the object is placed at the focal point of the objective lens, and one places the eyepiece at the near point of the eye.)
