Chapter 19, Problem 2P
A student has built a 20-cm-long pinhole camera for a science fair project. She wants to photograph the Washington Monument, which is 167 m (550ft) tall, and to have the image on the detector be 5.0 cm high. How far should she stand from the Washington Monument?

A camera lens used for taking close-up photographs has a focal length of 28.4 mm. The farthest it can be placed from the film is 24mm.
Part (a) What is the closest object that can be photographed in mm?
Part (b) What is the magnification of this closest object?
Part (c) What is the power of the lens?
The human eye has a lot in common with a pinhole camera, being essentially a small box with a hole in the front (the pupil) and a detector at the back (the retina). The distance from the pupil to the retina is approximately 24 mm. Suppose you look at a 190-cm-tall friend who is standing 9.8 mm in front of you. Assuming your eye functions like a pinhole camera, what will be the height, in mm, of your friend’s image on your retina?

You have two convex lenses mounted in a tube to which you will also attach the CCD plane. The first lens has a focal length of 15 mm and is positioned 25 mm from the sample to be imaged. The second lens, with a focal length of 10 mm, is closer to the CCDs and is 50mm from the first lens. How far away from the second lens will you mount the CCD plane? You must solve this problem using a good diagram and geometry. It is not permissible to use the lens/mirror equation, except to check your answer.
