Question

Reading with a magnifying glass You examine the fine print in a legal contract with a magnifying glass of focal length $5.0 \mathrm{cm}$. (a) How far from the lens should you hold the print to see a final virtual image $30 \mathrm{cm}$ from the lens (at the eye's near point)? (b) Determine the angular magnification of the magnifying glass.

Step 1

We are given f = 5.0 cm and v = 30 cm. Plugging these values into the formula, we get: $\frac{1}{5.0} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{30}$ Now, we can solve for u: $\frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{5.0} - \frac{1}{30} = \frac{5}{30} = \frac{1}{6}$ $u = 6 \mathrm{cm}$ So, the Show more…
