- Can an image be larger than the object even though its magnification is negative? Explain.arrow_forwardA magnifying glass produces an angular magnification of 4.5 when used by a young person with a near point of 18 cm. What is the maximum angular magnification obtained by an older person with a near point of 45 cm?arrow_forwardA clerk at the local grocery store wears glasses that make her eyes look smaller than they actually are. Is the clerk nearsighted or farsighted? Explain.arrow_forward
- How could you very quickly make an approximate measurement of the focal length of a converging lens? Could the same method be applied if you wished to use a diverging lens? Explain.arrow_forwardIf a lens is immersed in water, its focallength changes, as discussed in Conceptual Example 26-17.(a) If a spherical mirror is immersed in water, does its focal lengthincrease, decrease, or stay the same? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:I. The focal length will increase because the water will causemore bending of light.II. Water will refract the light. This, combined with the reflection due to the mirror, will result in a decreased focal length.III. The focal length stays the same because it depends on thefact that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection for a mirror. This is unaffected by the presence of thewaterarrow_forwardDuring LASIK eye surgery (laser - assisted in situ keratomileusis), the shape of the cornea is modified by vaporizing some of its material. If the surgery is performed to correct for nearsightedness, how does the cornea need to be reshaped?arrow_forward
- One end of a long glass rod (n = 1.50) is formed into a convex surface with a radius of curvature of magnitude 6.00 cm. An object is located in air along the axis of the rod. Find the image positions corresponding to object distancesof (a) 20.0 cm, (b) 10.0 cm, and (c) 3.00 cm from the convex end of the rod.arrow_forwardImagine that you travel by car on the General Cañas highway, towards San José-Alajuela and the car turns right towards the entrance of Barreal. When you get to the top, in front of you there is a convex mirror on a pole so that you can see the cars coming towards you from the left. The mirror has a radius of curvature of 427.2 mm and the car is positioned 7.5 m away from the mirror, how to calculate the mirror distance - an image that is formed due to the reflection of the car in which you are traveling.arrow_forwardA near-sighted person might correct his vision by wearing diverging lenses with focal length f� = -40 cmcm . When wearing his glasses, he looks not at actual objects but at the virtual images of those objects formed by his glasses. Suppose he looks at a 13-cmcm-long pencil held vertically 1.5 mm from his glasses. Use ray tracing to determine the location of the image. Express your answer with the appropriate units. Enter positive value if the image is on the other side from the lens and negative value if the image is on the same side. Use ray tracing to determine the height of the image. Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forward
- Nemo swims 12.5[m] deep into the sea (nw=1.38). What is the apparent depth of Nemo as seen by Darla in air (n=1.00)?arrow_forwardWhich rules of ray tracing apply to converging lenses? Check all that apply. -A ray that passes through the center (i.e. the principal axis) will continue traveling in that same direction. -A ray that passes through the center of the lens and then parallel to the optical axis on the other side of the lens. -A ray that comes into the lens parallel to the principal axis will refract through the lens and travel through the focal point. -A ray that comes through the focal point on the way to the lens will refract and travel parallel to the principal axis on the other side.arrow_forward
