The near point for your myopic uncle is 12 cm. Your own vision is normal; that is, your near point is 25 cm. Suppose you and your uncle hold dimes (which are 1.7 cm in diameter) at your respective near points.
For you, what is the dime's angular size, in radians?
For your uncle, what is the dime's angular size, in radians?
Part A
A biology student uses a converging lens to examine the details of a small insect. If the focal length of the lens is 12 cm, what is the maximum angular magnification given by the lens? What is the magnification for relaxed-eye viewing?
Part B
A spacecraft moves past a student with a relative velocity of 0.90c. If the pilot of the spacecraft observes 10 min to elapse on his watch, how much time has elapsed according to the student’s watch?
Two convex lenses which share a common principal axis are separated by a distance which is greater than the sum of their focal lengths, as shown.
Part (a) An object is placed a distance do,1=22 cm to the left of lens 1 which has focal length F1=4.2 cm. Ignore the existence of lens 2 for the moment. What is the position of the image, di,1 created by lens 1? Include the sign which is consistent with standard sign conventions.
Part (b) Calculate the magnification, M1, of lens 1 for the object as positioned in the previous step. Be certain to include the sign that is consistent with the standard conventions.
Part (c) Which statement best describes the image created by lens 1?
Part (d) Lens 2 is placed a distance L=20.0cm to the right of lens 1, and the image of lens 1 becomes the object of lens 2. Calculate the object distance, do,2, relative to lens 2. Be certain to include the sign as consistent with the standard sign conventions.
