Chapter 24: Problem 59

A slide projector, using slides of width \(5.08 \mathrm{cm},\) produces an image that is \(2.00 \mathrm{m}\) wide on a screen \(3.50 \mathrm{m}\) away. What is the focal length of the projector lens?

Short Answer

Expert verified
#tag_title# Step 2: Convert the units. #tag_content# To make all the units consistent, let's convert the image width and image distance to centimeters: - Image width: \(2.00 \mathrm{m} = 200 \mathrm{cm}\) - Image distance: \(3.50 \mathrm{m} = 350 \mathrm{cm}\) Now we have: - Object width (width of the slide) \(= 5.08 \mathrm{cm}\) - Image width \(= 200 \mathrm{cm}\) - Image distance \(= 350 \mathrm{cm}\)

Step by step solution

01

Write down the known values.

We are given the following information: - Object width (width of the slide) \(= 5.08 \mathrm{cm}\) - Image width \(= 2.00 \mathrm{m}\) - Distance between the projector lens and the screen (image distance) \(= 3.50 \mathrm{m}\)

The eyepiece of a microscope has a focal length of \(1.25 \mathrm{cm}\) and the objective lens focal length is \(1.44 \mathrm{cm} .\) (a) If the tube length is \(18.0 \mathrm{cm},\) what is the angular magnification of the microscope? (b) What objective focal length would be required to double this magnification?
The area occupied by one frame on 35 -mm film is \(24 \mathrm{mm}\) by $36 \mathrm{mm}-\( see the figure with Problem \)16 .$ The focal length of the camera lens is \(50.0 \mathrm{mm}\). A picture is taken of a person $182 \mathrm{cm}$ tall. What is the minimum distance from the camera for the person to stand so that the image fits on the film? Give two answers; one for each orientation of the camera.
Unless the problem states otherwise, assume that the distance from the comea- lens system to the retina is \(2.0 \mathrm{cm}\) and the normal near point is \(25 \mathrm{cm}.\) If the distance from the lens system (cornea + lens) to the retina is $2.00 \mathrm{cm},$ show that the focal length of the lens system must vary between \(1.85 \mathrm{cm}\) and \(2.00 \mathrm{cm}\) to see objects from $25.0 \mathrm{cm}$ to infinity.
A camera uses a 200.0 -mm focal length telephoto lens to take pictures from a distance of infinity to as close as 2.0 \(\mathrm{m}\). What are the minimum and maximum distances from the lens to the film?
A man requires reading glasses with \(+2.0 \mathrm{D}\) power to read a book held \(40.0 \mathrm{cm}\) away with a relaxed eye. Assume the glasses are $2.0 \mathrm{cm}$ from his eyes. (a) What is his uncorrected far point? (b) What refractive power lenses should he use for distance vision? (c) His uncorrected near point is \(1.0 \mathrm{m} .\) What should the refractive powers of the two lenses in his bifocals be to give him clear vision from \(25 \mathrm{cm}\) to infinity?
