Two thin convex lenses and an object are arranged as shown below. Two rays from the tip of the object are drawn in order to determine the location of the image produced by lens 1. Lens 2 is placed so that one of its focal points coincides with the location of the image produced by lens 1.
e. The diagram in this problem illustrates a compound microscope. Lens 1, called the objective,is placed near the object of interest. Lens 2, known as the eyepiece, is placed so that one of focal points coincides with the image produced by the objective.
In order to improve the angular magnification of the microscope shown above, would you replace the eyepiece (lens 2) with another lens that has a smaller focal length or a larger focal length? Explain your reasoning.

- A capacitor with a capacitance of C = 5.95×10−5 F is charged by connecting it to a 12.5 −V battery. The capacitor is then disconnected from the battery and connected across an inductor with an inductance of L = 1.55 H . At the time 2.35×10−2 s after the connection to the inductor is made, what is the current in the inductor? At that time, how much electrical energy is stored in the inductor?arrow_forwardCan someone help me with this question. Thanks.arrow_forwardCan someone help me with this question.
