Required information An object is placed 20.0 cm from a converging lens with focal length 15.0 cm (see the figure, not drawn to scale). A concave mirror with focal length 10.0 cm is located 76.5 cm to the right of the lens. Light goes through the lens, reflects from the mirror, and passes through the lens again, forming a final image. Converging lens Object Concave mirror 15.0 cm -20.0 cm- 10.0 cm d cm d = 76.5. What is the location of the final image? cm to the left of the lens

! Required information A man requires reading glasses with +2.15-D refractive power to read a book held 40.0 cm away with a relaxed eye. Assume the glasses are 1.90 cm from his eyes. His uncorrected near point is 1.00 m. If one of the lenses is the one for distance vision, what should the refractive power of the other lens (for close-up vision) in his bifocals be to give him clear vision from 25.0 cm to infinity? 2.98 D

! Required information Assume that the magnifier is held close to the eye. Use the standard near point of 25.0 cm to find the angular magnification. An insect that is 4.10 mm long is placed 10.3 cm from a simple magnifier with a focal length of 13.0 cm. What is the angular magnification?
