- A microscope has an objective lens with a focal length of 16.22 mm and an eyepiece with a focal length of 9.50 mm. With the length of the barrel set at 29.0 cm, the diameter of a red blood cells image subtends an angle of 1.43 mrad with the eye. It the final image distance is 29.0 cm from the eyepiece, what is the actual diameter of the red blood cell? Hint: To solve this question, go back to basics and use the thin-lens equation.arrow_forwardA converging lens has a focal length of 10.0 cm. Locate the object if a real image is located at a distance from the lens of (a) 20.0 cm and (b) 50.0 cm. What If? Redo the calculations if the images are virtual and located at a distance from the lens of (c) 20.0 cm and (d) 50.0 cm.arrow_forwardThe radius of curvature of the left-hand face of a flint glass biconvex lens (n = 1.60) has a magnitude of 8.00 cm, and the radius of curvature of the right-hand face has a magnitude of 11.0 cm. The incident surface of a biconvex lens is convex regardless of which side is the incident side. What is the focal length of the lens if light is incident on the lens from the left?arrow_forward

(e) Calculate the magnification of the first lens (f) Calculate the magnification of the second lens. (g) What is the total magnification for the system? (h) Is the final image real or virtual? Is it upright or inverted (compared to the original object for the lens system)?arrow_forwardA jewelers lens of focal length 5.0 cm is used as a magnifier. With the lens held near the eye, determine (a) the angular magnification when the object is at the focal point of the lens and (b) the angular magnification when the image formed by the lens is at the near point of the eye (25 cm). (c) What is the object distance giving the maximum magnification?arrow_forwardAn amoeba is 0.305 cm away from the 0.300 cm- focal length objective lens of a microscope. (a) Where is the image formed by the objective lens? (b) What is this image’s magnification? (C) An eyepiece with a 2.00-cm focal length is placed 20.0 cm from the objective. Where is the final image? (d) What angular magnification is produced by the eyepiece? (e) What is the overall magnification? (See Figure 2.39.)arrow_forward

(b) When the lenses are in use, what is this persons near point?arrow_forwardAn amoeba is 0.305 cm away from the 0.300 cm focal length objective lens of a microscope.

(b) Where is the image? (c) Find the radius of curvature of the convex mirror formed by the cornea. (Note that this technique is used by optometrists to measure the curvature of the cornea for contact lens ?tting. The instrument used is called a keratometer, or curve measurer.)arrow_forward
