Andy decides to use an old pair of eyeglasses to make some optical instruments. He knows that the near point in his left eye is 50.0 cm and the near point in his right eye is 100 cm. (a) What is the maximum angular magnification he can produce in a telescope? (b) If he places the lenses 10.0 cm apart, what is the maximum overall magnification he can produce in a microscope?
An artificial lens is implanted in a person’s eye to replace a diseased lens. The distance between the artificial lens and the retina is 2.80 cm. In the absence of the lens, an image of a distant object (formed by refraction at the cornea) falls 5.33 cm behind the implanted lens. The lens is designed to put the image of the distant object on the retina. What is the power of the implanted lens? Hint: Consider the image formed by the cornea to be a virtual object.
A person decides to use an old pair of eyeglasses to make some optical instruments. He knows that the near point in his left eye is 48.0 cm and the near point in his right eye is 108 cm. (a) What is the maximum angular magnification he can produce in a telescope? x Your incorrect answer may have resulted from roundoff error. Make sure you keep extra significant figures in intermediate steps of your calculation (b) If he places the lenses 10.0 cm apart, what is the maximum overall magnification he can produce in a microscope? Hint: Go back to basics and use the thin-lens equation to solve part (b). Consider at what distance from the eye the eyepiece must form its image to be viewed comfortably. Then using the focal lengths calculated in part (a) for each lens arrangement, calculate the magnification and location of the image formed by the eyepiece. Then use that image as the object for the second lens in order to find its image location and magnification. Need Help? Read it Submit…
