Required information
An object is placed 20.0 cm from a converging lens with focal length 15.0 cm (see the figure, not drawn to scale). A
concave mirror with focal length 10.0 cm is located 76.5 cm to the right of the lens. Light goes through the lens, reflects
from the mirror, and passes through the lens again, forming a final image.

Required information
A man requires reading glasses with +2.15-D refractive power to read a book held 40.0 cm away with a relaxed eye.
Assume the glasses are 1.90 cm from his eyes.
His uncorrected near point is 1.00 m. If one of the lenses is the one for distance vision, what should the refractive power of the other
lens (for close-up vision) in his bifocals be to give him clear vision from 25.0 cm to infinity?

Required information
Assume that the magnifier is held close to the eye. Use the standard near point of 25.0 cm to find the angular
magnification. An insect that is 4.10 mm long is placed 10.3 cm from a simple magnifier with a focal length of 13.0 cm.
What is the angular magnification?

- 2arrow_forward3arrow_forwardImagine you are out for a stroll on a sunny day when you encounter a lake. Unpolarized light from the sun is reflected off the lake into your eyes. However, you notice when you put on your vertically polarized sunglasses, the light reflected off the lake no longer reaches your eyes. What is the angle between the unpolarized light and the surface of the water, in degrees, measured from the horizontal? You may assume the index of refraction of air is nair=1 and the index of refraction of water is nwater=1.33 . Round your answer to three significant figures. Just enter the number, nothing else.arrow_forward
