Concept explainers
You are using a magnifier to examine a gem. If you change to a different magnifier with twice the focal length of the first one, you will have to hold the object at (i) twice the distance and the angular magnification will be twice as great; (ii) twice the distance and the angular magnification will be

- You view an object by holding a 2.5 cm-focal length magnifying glass 10 cm away from it. How far from your eye should you hold the magnifying glass to obtain a magnification of 10 ?arrow_forwardA lamp of height S cm is placed 40 cm in front of a converging lens of focal length 20 cm. There is a plane mirror 15 cm behind the lens. Where would you find the image when you look in the mirror?arrow_forwardTwo thin lenses of focal lengths f1 = 15.0 and f2 = 10.0 cm, respectively, are separated by 35.0 cm along a common axis. The f1 lens is located to the left of the f2 lens. An object is now placed 50.0 cm to the left of the f1 lens, and a final image due to light passing though both lenses forms. By what factor is the final image different in size from the object? (a) 0.600 (b) 1.20 (c) 2.40 (d) 3.60 (e) none of those answersarrow_forward
- Au object of height 3.0 cm is placed at 25 cm in front of a diverging lens of focal length 20 cm. Behind the diverging lens, there is a converging lens of focal length 20 cm. The distance between the lenses is 5.0 cm. Fluid the location and size of the final image.arrow_forwardTwo stars that are 109km apart are viewed by a telescope and found to be separated by an angle of 105 radians. If the eyepiece of the telescope has a focal length of 1.5 cm and the objective has a focal length of 3 meters, how far away are the stars from the observer?arrow_forwardA converging lens made of crown glass has a focal length of 15.0 cm when used in air. If the lens is immersed in water, what is its focal length? (a) negative (b) less than 15.0 cm (c) equal to 15.0 cm (d) greater than 15.0 cm (e) none of those answersarrow_forward
- A magnifying glass produces an angular magnification of 4.5 when used by a young person with a near point of 18 cm. What is the maximum angular magnification obtained by an older person with a near point of 45 cm?arrow_forwardA converging lens has a focal length of 10.0 cm. Locate the object if a real image is located at a distance from the lens of (a) 20.0 cm and (b) 50.0 cm. What If? Redo the calculations if the images are virtual and located at a distance from the lens of (c) 20.0 cm and (d) 50.0 cm.arrow_forwardAn unknown planet at a distance of 1012 m from Earth is observed by a telescope that has a focal length of the eyepiece of 1 cm and a focal length of the objective of I m. If the far away planet is seen to subtend an angle of 105 radian at the eyepiece, what is the size of the planet?arrow_forward
- For a normal, relaxed eye, a magnifying glass produces an angular magnification of 4.0. What is the largest magnification possible with this magnifying glass?arrow_forwardThe image of the Moon is formed by a concave mirror (aka telescope) whose radius of curvature is 9.62m at a time when the Moon's angular diameter is 0.523degrees. What is the diameter (magnitude only) of the image (cm) of the moon? HINT: What is the property of the rays coming from one point on the edge of the Moon (think of the moon as being infinitely far away)? Where do those rays converge to form an image of that point? Use the small angle approximation: sin(x)=tan(x)=x for |x|<<1, when x is measured in radians.arrow_forwardA simple magnifier of focal length f is placed near the eye of someone whose near point Pn is 25 cm. An object is positioned so that its image in the magnifier appears at Pn. (a) What is the angular magnification of the magnifier? (b) What is the angular magnification if the object is moved so that its image appears at infinity? For f = 10 cm, evaluate the angular magnifications of (c) the situation in (a) and (d) the situation in (b). (Viewing an image at Pn requires effort by muscles in the eye, whereas viewing an image at infinity requires no such effort for many people.)arrow_forward
