A magnifier has a magnification of 5x. How far from the lens should an object be held so that its image is seen at the near-point distance of 25cm? Assume that your is immediately behind the lens.

Short Answer

Expert verified

5cmfar from the lens should an object be held so that its image is seen at the near-point distance of 25cm.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

we have given that:

m=5

D=25cm

we need to find the distance f.

02

Simplify

Using the formula:

m=Df

From the formula, let us find the value for f.

localid="1648723478061" m=Df (substitute value in the equation.)

localid="1648723490375" m=25f (multiply both sides with f.)

localid="1648736190470" role="math" 5f=f×25f

localid="1648723581802" 5f=25 (Divide both the sides by 5.)

localid="1648736050288" 5×f5=255

localid="1648723617249" f=5cm.

m=Df5-25f5f-f:

A friend lends you the eyepiece of his microscope to use on your own microscope. He claims the spatial resolution of your microscope will be halved, since his eyepiece has the same diameter as yours but twice the magnification. Is his claim valid? Explain.

| Marooned on a desert island and with a lot of time on your hands, you decide to disassemble your glasses to make a crude telescope with which you can scan the horizon for rescuers. Luckily you’re farsighted, and, like most people, your two eyes have different lens prescriptions. Your left eye uses a lens of power +4.5 D, and your right eye’s lens is +3.0 D. a. Which lens should you use for the objective and which for the eyepiece? Explain.

b. What will be the magnification of your telescope?

c. How far apart should the two lenses be when you focus on distant objects?

A 15cm-focal-length converging lens is 20cmto the right of a 7.0cm-focal-length converging lens. A 1.0cm-tall object is distance L to the left of the first lens.

a. For what value of L is the final image of this two-lens system halfway between the two lenses?

b. What are the height and orientation of the final image?

In figure p35.26, parallel rays from the left are focused to a point at two locations on the optical axis. find the position of each location, giving your answer as a distance left or right of the lens.
