The diameter of a penny is 19 mm. As we’ve seen, the moon subtends an angle of approximately 0.5° in the sky. How far from your eye must a penny be held so that it has the same apparent size as the moon?
The person cannot see the objects beyond 15.0 cm distance from the eye. This means, the far point of the person’s eye is 15.0 cm.
The Moon subtends an angle of 0.52° when viewed from Earth. If a lens with a focal length of 148 mm is used to image the Moon, what is the height of the Moon's image?
