bserver views the image of the leaf from a position 1.26 m behind the lens, as shown in the figure below. An eye on the right side of the figure looks left along a horizontal Principal axis that runs through the centers of a converging lens left of middle and a leaf on the left. The eye is a horizontal distance of 1.26 m from the lens, and the leaf is a horizontal distance d from the lens. (a) What is the magnitude of the lateral magnification (the ratio of image size to the object size) produced by the lens? (b) What angular magnification is achieved by viewing the
Refraction of Light
Refraction is a change in the direction of light rays when they travel from one medium to another. It is the bending of light when it goes through different media.
Angle of Refraction
Light is considered by many scientists to have dual nature, both particle nature and wave nature. First, Particle nature is one in which we consider a stream of packets of energy called photons. Second, Wave nature is considering light as electromagnetic radiation whereas part of it is perceived by humans. Visible spectrum defined by humans lies in a range of 400 to 700 nm wavelengths.
Index of Refraction of Diamond
Diamond, the world’s hardest naturally occurring material and mineral known, is a solid form of the element carbon. The atoms are arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic. They exist in a huge variety of colours. Also, they are one of the best conductors of heat and have a very high melting point.
A leaf of length h is positioned d = 65.9 cm in front of a converging lens with a focal length of 40.0 cm. An observer views the image of the leaf from a position 1.26 m behind the lens, as shown in the figure below.
(b) What angular magnification is achieved by viewing the image of the leaf rather than viewing the leaf directly?
