Step 1
1 degree = 0.0174533 radians So, 2 degrees = 2 * 0.0174533 = 0.0349066 radians The formula to calculate the size of an object based on its distance and angular size is: Size = Distance * tan(Angular Size) So, Size = 10.0 km * tan(0.0349066) Converting 10.0 Show more…

A 1.0 -cm-tall object is $2.5 \mathrm{cm}$ to the left of a diverging lens with a focal length of $-2.5 \mathrm{cm} .$ A converging lens with a focal length of $5.0 \mathrm{cm}$ is distance $d$ to the right of the first lens. a. For what value of $d$ is the image at infinity? b. Draw a ray diagram of this situation. c. What is the angular size of the image as seen by looking through the converging lens? d. What is the angular magnification of this two-lens magnifier?
