Step 1
Unfortunately, the question does not provide this information. Second, we need to know the wavelength of light the insect's eye is most sensitive to. Again, this information is not provided in the question. Assuming we had this information, we could use the Show more…

You want to view through a magnifier an insect that is $2.10 \mathrm{~mm}$ long. If the insect is to be at the focal point of the magnifier, what focal length will give the image of the insect an angular size of 0.026 radian?
You want to view through a magnifier an insect that is 2.00 mm long. If the insect is to be at the focal point of the magnifier, what focal length will give the image of the insect an angular size of 0.032 radian?

The Magnifier
The wing of an insect is $1.0 \mathrm{mm}$ long. When viewed through a microscope, the image is $1.0 \mathrm{m}$ long and is located $5.0 \mathrm{m}$ away. Determine the angular magnification.
