Question
The accommodation limits for a nearsighted person's eyes are 20.0 cm and 82.0 cm. When he wears his glasses, he can see faraway objects clearly. At what minimum distance is he able to see objects
clearly?
cm
A person decides to use an old pair of eyeglasses to make some optical instruments. He knows that the near point in his left eye is 58.0 cm and the near point in his right eye is 116 cm.
(a) What is the maximum angular magnification he can produce in a telescope?
(b) If he places the lenses 10.0 cm apart, what is the maximum overall magnification he can produce in a microscope? Hint: Go back to basics and use the thin-lens equation to solve part (b).
