Chapter 23, Problem 57P
5.7 Looking at an aphid You examine an aphid on a plant leaf with a magnifying glass of +6.0-cm focal length. You hold the glass so that the final virtual image is 40 cm from the lens. If you assume that your near point is at 30 cm, then what is the angular magnification? How will the magnification change if you are farsighted? Nearsighted?
