Concept explainers
Two thin convex lenses and an object are arranged as shown below. Two rays from the tip of the object are drawn in order to determine the location of the image produced by lens 1. Lens 2 is placed so that one of its focal points coincides with the location of the image produced by lens 1.
e. The diagram in this problem illustrates a compound microscope. Lens 1, called the objective,is placed near the object of interest. Lens 2, known as the eyepiece, is placed so that one of focal points coincides with the image produced by the objective.
In order to improve the angular magnification of the microscope shown above, would you replace the eyepiece (lens 2) with another lens that has a smaller focal length or a larger focal length? Explain your reasoning.

Use the formula belowarrow_forwardAn object stands on the common central axis of two thin, symmetric lenses. The object is placed 15.0 cm in front of the first lens (converging lens) whose focal length is 10.0 cm. The second lens is a diverging lens whose focal length is also 12.0 cm. The distance between the lenses is 40.0 cm. a.) Determine the characteristics of the final image by using thin-lens and magnification equations. Give your reasoning. b.)

P rays that enter the lens from the left side will converge at and pass through the focal point on the right or far side. The focal point on the left or near side is not used. Sketch three P rays passing through the converging lens provided. Note: Instead of refracting the ray at each interface, assume the ray refracts only once, at the dashed central bisector of the lens B. A concave-concave lens is a diverging lens. P rays entering from the left will diverge away from the focal point on the left. The right side focal point is not used.

Part A Explain why he does this. Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences. Reset Help 1 The object distance, image distance, and focal length are related by f smaller 1 1 Inspecting this expression, we see that for a fixed focal length, as the object s' f distance gets smaller the image distance must get in order to +! = } f maintain the equality. s' larger Due to the construction of the camera, there is a limit to how big the image distance can be and still get a sharp image on the detector. In order to allow smaller object distances (which is the case for a close-up shot), the photographer can use a focal length lens.arrow_forward
