The human eye has a lot in common with a pinhole camera, being essentially a small box with a hole in the front (the pupil) and a detector at the back (the retina). The distance from the pupil to the retina is approximately 24 mm. Suppose you look at a 190-cm-tall friend who is standing 9.8 mm in front of you. Assuming your eye functions like a pinhole camera, what will be the height, in mm, of your friend’s image on your retina?

respect to the combination of lenses.
The combination of a convex lens and a
concave lens is a concave lens if the focal

length of the convex lens is less than that
of the concave lens.

- A. Magnification: Consider a simple lens, with a focal length of 3.2 cm, which is being used to create a magnified image of a point object (= a dot). This point object is located on the optic axis in object space (left side of the lens) 40.0 mm from the lens. By how much would the object be magnified under these conditions? In order to receive credit, you must show each step of your calculations. Pay particular attention to formulas, units, conversion factors, unit cancellations, and significant figures. B. Chromatic Aberration: Draw a ray tracing diagram that accurately illustrates the behavior of the lens described in Part A above if it exhibits uncorrected chromatic aberration in the imaging of the point object on the optic axis.

- You are working in an optical research laboratory. Your supervisor requests that you build her a beam expander with specifications required by her experiment. A beam expander is a series of two lenses on the same principal axis. A beam of laser light covers the total area of the first lens, which focuses the parallel rays at its focal point. A second lens with a longer focal length and a larger radius is placed on the axis so that the rays expanding from the focal point of the first lens cover the area of the second lens. The outgoing rays of the second lens are parallel. The net result is that the diameter of the outgoing laser beam is larger than the original beam. Your supervisor provides you with a lens of focal length f₁ = 1.30 cm. Its diameter matches that of an incoming laser beam of diameter d₁ = 0.150 cm. She wants the beam expanded to a diameter of d₂ = 0.690 cm. She asks you to find the following.
