Set Up: Use
Solve: The plot of the data is shown below.
From the best-fit line, the y intercept is 0.099 cm−1. Thus, the image distance is
Reflect: From the best-fit line, the slope is 1.0179 ± 0.0126, which is close to the expected value of unity.
54. A physics student is given a set of converging lenses that have a range of focal lengths. The lab instructo asks her to position an object in front of each lens so that the image distance always has the same value, whi is specified in the lab manual. The table gives the measured object distances and the corresponding focal lengths.
f(cm) | d0 (cm) |
5 | 10.1 |
6 | 15 3 |
7 | 22.8 |
8 | 39.2 |
9 | 90 5 |
Make a plot of the inverse focal length as a function of the inverse object distance Using a linear “best fit” to the data, determine the image distance that was specified in the lab manual.

- What are spherical and chromatic aberration? How can they be corrected?arrow_forwardUsing the following picture, find out what the incident angle will be.arrow_forwardIf you observe a paramecium under 40x total magnification (under a compound microscope), the paramecium appears approximately 0.00625mm in length. If the paramecium is the full size of the field of view, how big is the paramecium? (LPM = 1) (LPD = 2)arrow_forward
- Using the thin lens equations, design a single-lens system with magnification M = -2.arrow_forwardThe observer in (Figure 1) is positioned so that the far edge of the bottom of the empty glass (not to scale) is just visible. When the glass is filled to the top with water, the center of the bottom of the glass is just visible to the observer. Find the height, H, of the glass, given that its width is W=5.0cm.arrow_forwardCould you please solve this and please try to make the text clear so I can see the solution clearly, Thank youarrow_forward
- When viewed through a magnifying glass, a stamp that is 2.2 cm wide appears upright and 6.1 cm wide. What is the magnification?arrow_forwardAn object 1.70 cm high is held 3.00 cm from a person's cornea, and its reflected image is measured to be 0.167 cm high. What is the magnification? What is the image distance? What is the magnitude of radius of curvature?arrow_forwardWhat do you think an image would look like if a camera lens was not properly corrected for chromatic aberration?arrow_forward
- can you write the solutions clearer? thanksarrow_forwardSuppose a certain person’s visual acuity is such that he can see objects clearly that form an image 4.25 μm high on his retina. 1) What is the maximum distance at which he can read the 75.0 cm high letters on the side of an airplane in km? Assume the image is formed on his retina, 2.00 cm behind the lens in his eye.arrow_forward
