An optics expert places two flat mirrors at an angle of 8, = 68.0° to each other, as shown below. She then directs a horizontal beam of light toward Mirror 1. The beam reflects twice: first off Mirror 1, then Mirror 2. What angle 8, will the outgoing beam make with the surface of Mirror 2? (Enter your answer in in degrees.) Mirror 1 Mirror 2

An object viewed with the naked eye subtends a 2° angle. If you view the object through a 10 x magnifying glass, what angle is subtended by the image formed on your retina?
A convex mirror with a radius of curvature of 25.0 cm is used to form an image of an arrow that is 10.0 cm away from the mirror. If the arrow is 2.00 cm tall and inverted (pointing below the optical axis), what is the height of the arrows image?
For a normal, relaxed eye, a magnifying glass produces an angular magnification of 4.0. What is the largest magnification possible with this magnifying glass?
A 7.5 binocular produces an angular magnification of —7.50, acting like a telescope. (Mirrors are used to make the image upright.) If the binoculars have objective lenses with a 75.0-cm focal length, what is the focal length of the eyepiece lenses?
It has become common to replace the cataract-clouded lens of the eye with an internal lens. This intraocular lens can be chosen so that the person has perfect distant vision. Will the person be able to read without glasses? If the person was nearsighted, is the power of the intraocular lens greater or less than the removed lens?
Let objective and eyepiece of a compound microscope have focal lengths of 2.5 cm and 10 cm, respectively and be separated by 12 cm. A 70- mobject is placed 6.0 cm from the objective. How large is the virtual image formed by the objective-eyepiece system?
What is the magnification of a magnifying lens with a focal length of 10 cm if it is held 3.0 cm from the eye and the object is 12 cm from the eye?
A point source of light is 50 cm in front of a converging lens of focal length 30 cm. A concave mirror with a focal length of 20 cm is placed 25 cm behind the lens. Where does the final image form, and what are its orientation and magnification?
A magnifying glass produces an angular magnification of 4.5 when used by a young person with a near point of 18 cm. What is the maximum angular magnification obtained by an older person with a near point of 45 cm?
. If the mirror described in the previous problem is used to form an image of the same object now located 16 cm in front of the mirror, what would the new image position be? Assuming that the magnification equations developed for lenses also apply to mirrors, describe the image (size and orientation) thus formed.
You hold a 5.0 cm-focal length magnifying glass as close as possible to your eye. If you have a normal near point, what is the magnification?
How far should you hold a 2.1 cm-focal length magnifying glass from an object to obtain a magnification of 10 x ? Assume you place your eye 5.0 cm from the magnifying glass.
