- . A small object is placed to the left of a convex lens and on its optical axis. The object is 30 cm from the lens, which has a focal length of 10 cm. Determine the location of the image formed by the lens. Describe the image.arrow_forwardA particular nearsighted patient cant see objects clearly beyond 15.0 cm from their eye. Determine (a) the lens power required to correct the patients vision and (b) the type of lens required (converging or diverging). Neglect the distance between the eye and the corrective lens.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_forward
- An object 1.50 cm high is held 3.00 cm from a person’s cornea, and its reflected image is measured to be 0.16? cm high. (a) What is the magnification? (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_forwardThe lens and mirror in Figure P36.77 are separated by d = 1.00 m and have focal lengths of +80.0 cm and -50.0 cm, respectively. An object is placed p = 1.00 m to the left of the lens as shown, (a) Locate the final image, formed by light that has gone through the lens twice. (b) Determine the overall magnification of the image and (c) state whether the image is upright or inverted.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_forward
