Example 23-9 : Image formed by a converging lens. What are (a) the position, and (b) the size, of the image of a 7.6-cm-high leaf placed 1.00 m from a +50.0-mm-focal-length camera lens?
A lens can be used to start a fire by focusing an image of the sun onto a piece of flammable material. All other things being equal, would a lens with a short focal length or a long focal length be better as a fire starter? Explain.
Where must the film be placed if a camera lens is to make asharp image of an object far away? Explain.
A friend lends you the eyepiece of his microscope to use on your own microscope. He claims that since his eyepiece has the same diameter as yours but twice the focal length, the resolving power of your microscope will be doubled. Is his claim valid? Explain.
If a lens is immersed in water, its focallength changes, as discussed in Conceptual Example 26-17.(a) If a spherical mirror is immersed in water, does its focal lengthincrease, decrease, or stay the same? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:I. The focal length will increase because the water will causemore bending of light.II. Water will refract the light. This, combined with the reflection due to the mirror, will result in a decreased focal length.III. The focal length stays the same because it depends on thefact that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection for a mirror. This is unaffected by the presence of thewater
Use the law of reflection to prove that the focal length of a mirror is hall its radius of curvature. That is, prove that f = R/2. Note this is true for a spherical mirror only if its diameter is small compared with its radius of curvature.
(a) What is the focal length of a magnifying glass that produces a magnification of 3.00 when held 5.00 cm from an object such as a rare coin? (b) Calculate the power of the magnifier in diopters. (c) Discuss how this power compares to those for store-bought reading glasses (typically 1.0 to 4.0 D). Is the magnifier's power greater, and should it be?
A laboratory (astronomical) telescope is used to view a scale that is 300 cm from the objective, which has a focal length of 20.0 cm; the eyepiece has a focal length of 2.00 cm. Calculate the angular magnification when the telescope is adjusted for minimum eyestrain. Note: The object is not at infinity, so the simple expression m = fo/fe is not sufficiently accurate for this problem. Also, assume small angles, so that tan = .
