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

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.)
A typical human eye is nearly spherical, and is usually about 2.5 cm in diameter. Suppose a person first looks at a coin that is 2.4 cm in diameter and located 34.0 cm from her eye. Then, she looks up at a friend who is 1.8 m tall and 4.00 m away. Find the magnitude of the approximate size of each image (coin ℎI,coin and friend ℎI,friend) on her retina. (Hint: Just consider rays from the top and bottom of the object that pass through the center of the lens.) b) Are the images on her retina upright/inverted and/or virtual/real?
The two lenses of a compound microscope are separated by a distance of 20.0 cm. If the objective lens produces a lateral magnification of 10.0 X and the overall magnification is 115 X, determine (a) the angular magnification of the eyepiece, (b) the focal length of the eyepiece, and (c) the focal length of the objective lens.
The figure shows an object and its image formed by a thin lens. Assume that d1 = 0.919 m, d2 = 0.861 m, and h = 7.50E-2 m. What is the image height (in m; answer sign and magnitude)?
