The angular magnification,
Does the value of the angular magnification depend on the location of the observer? Explain. Consider the two examples in this tutorial. In each case, is the absolute value of the angular magnification greater than, less than, or equal to one? (If your answer depends on observer location, choose an observer who can see the entire image.)
Does the angular magnification tell you whether the image will appear larger than the object without the lens? Explain why or why not.

- People who do very detailed work close up, such as jewelers, often can see objects clearly at much closer distance than the normal 25 cm. (a) What is the power of the eyes of a woman who can see an object clearly at a distance of only 8.00 cm? (b) What is the image size of a 1.00-mm object, such as lettering inside a ring, held at this distance? (c) What would the size of the image be if the object were held at the normal 25.0 cm distance?arrow_forwardWhat is the angular size of the Moon if viewed from a binocular that has a focal length of 1.2 cm for the eyepiece and a focal length of 8 cm for the objective? Use the radius of the moon 1.74106 m and the distance of the moon from the observer to be 3.8108m .arrow_forwardAn object is placed to the left of a concave lens with focal length -10 cm such that the image produced by the lens is exactly half the size of the object. In a neat and organized fashion, write out a solution which includes the following: A sketch of the physical situation with all given physical quantities clearly labeled. Draw a ray diagram showing the object, the lens, and the image. Determine the location of the object and the image. Clearly show all steps, starting from generalized equations. Explain your mathematical work in words. Your explanation should cover both what you did and the thought process behind why you did that. Evaluate your answer to determine whether it is reasonable or not. Consider all aspects of your answer (the numerical value, sign, and units) in your evaluation. Answer 4 only pleasearrow_forward
- Two thin lenses with focal lengths of magnitude 15.0 cm, the first diverging and the second converging, are placed 12.00 cm apart. An object 3.00 mm tall is placed 5.50 cm to the left of the first (diverging) lens. Where is the image formed by the first lens located? Please provide a detailed explanation of the process. How far from the object is the final image formed? Please describe the steps taken to reach to your conclusion.arrow_forwardA 40 cm tall trolley is placed at u cm from a mirror. The image formed by the mirror is an upright image with the height of its image is 80 cm.arrow_forwardplease help: Sunlight enters a room at an angle of 32 degrees above the horizontal and reflects from a small mirror lying flat on the floor. The reflected light forms a spot on a wall that is 2.0 m behind the mirror, as shown in figure If you now place a pencil under the edge of the mirror nearer the wall, tilting it upward by 5.0 degrees, how much higher on the wall (Δy) is the spot? Express your answer as a whole number.arrow_forward
- A 1.5 cmcm high object is located 30 cmcm from a diverging lens, whose focal length is 11 cmcm . What is the height of the image produced by the lens? You have determined the height of the image using numerical methods and, in so doing, have also determined its position, s′s′s'. Now, use graphical methods to evaluate your results.The diagram below shows the object, a ray (ray 1) parallel to the optic axis of the lens, and a ray (ray 2) proceeding toward the first focal point of the lens. Draw the refracted rays and the image produced by the lens. Make sure you extend the refracted rays sufficiently backward in order to find the image. Keep in mind that principal-ray diagrams must be drawn accurately to give good results!arrow_forwardImagine you were provided with a lens, lens holder, screen, sheet of paper, meter rule, clamp& stand, cross wires(object) and a touch light source. Identify the type of lens you have been provide with. Explain your answer Hence write down: two characteristics of the image formed the distance d of the image formed from the lens what is the significance of d? Justify your answerarrow_forwardq37 An object (height = 8.2 cm) and its image are on opposite sides of a converging lens. The object is located 19.0 cm from the lens. The image is located 5.5 cm from the lens. Determine the magnification. Enter the numerical part of your answer to two significant figures. Hint: Remember that the sign of the magnification is significant.arrow_forward

ΑΣΦ s' = Submit Request Answer Poz ? cmarrow_forwardIn this example, we will find the position and magnification of an image formed by a spherical mirror. A lamp is placed 10 cmcm in front of a concave spherical mirror that forms an image of the filament on a screen placed 3.0 mm from the mirror. What is the radius of curvature of the mirror? What is the lateral magnification? If the lamp filament is 5.0 mmmm high, how tall is its image? SOLUTION SET UP (Figure 1) shows our diagram. SOLVE Both object distance and image distance are positive; we have ss = 10 cmcm and s's′ = 300 cmcm. To find the radius of curvature, we use the following: 1s+1s′110cm+1300cm==2R, and RR = 19.4 cmcm. The lateral magnification mm is obtained from m=y′/y=−s′/s m=y′y=−150mm5mm=−30. To find the height of the image, we simply multiply the height of the object by the magnification: y′=−30×5.0 m=150m REFLECT The image is inverted (as we know because m = -30 is negative) and is 30 times taller than the object. Notice that the filament is not located at the…arrow_forwardA concave spherical mirror can be used to project an image onto a sheet of paper, allowing the magnified image of an illuminated real object to be accurately traced. If you have a concave mirror with a focal length of 7.9 cm, where would you place a sheet of paper so that the image projected onto it is twice as far from the mirror as the object is? Is the image upright or inverted, real or virtual? What would the magnification be? location cm nature real virtual erect inverted magnificationarrow_forward
