- A group of students is given two converging lenses. Lens A has a focal length of 12.5 cm, and lens B has a focal length of 50.0 cm. The diameter of each lens is 6.50 cm. The students are asked to construct a microscope from these lenses that has the same magnification as the telescope in Problem 80 if possible, and they have this discussion: Avi: These are the same lenses we used to make a telescope. So they wont work as a microscope. Microscopes are for looking at close objects; telescopes are for looking at far objects. Cameron: All you need for a microscope are two converging lenses. I think the difference from a telescope is just that the order of the lenses is switched. A microscope is just a backward telescope. Shannon: I think the order of the lenses doesnt matter because the magnification is inversely proportional to both focal lengths. I think we have to adjust the distance between the lenses. a. What do you think? b. If a microscope can be constructed with these two lenses, describe its design. What is the minimum separation of the lenses? Where must you place the object?arrow_forwardA converging lens has 14.3 cm focal length, and is placed 4.5 cm behind a diverging lens. Parallel light strikes the diverging lens. After passing through the converging lens, the light is again parallel. What is the focal length of the diverging lens in cm to 1 decimalpoint? (Hint: draw a ray diagram ) Your Answer: Answerarrow_forwardYou are having trouble reading your cheat sheet during your physics exam because you wrote so small. You foresaw the problem, so you brought a small lens with you to the exam. You hold the lens 6 cm away from the page. The image you see is upright and 2.9 times the size of the writing on the page. where is image formed Is the image real or virtual what is the focal length of the lens are you using a converting lens or a diverging lensarrow_forward
