Question
Suppose that you are using an older $C C D$ camera that collects only $40 \%$ of the light that would otherwise be gathered. How would this affect the magnification of the image you are taking? How would this affect the brightness of the image?
Step 1
Magnification: The magnification of an image depends on the focal length of the lens and the distance between the object and the camera sensor. The efficiency of the CCD sensor in collecting light does not affect the magnification of the image. So, the Show more…

What happens to the size of the image created by a compound microscope if an eyepiece with a longer focal length replaces the original eyepiece? Assume the objective focal length an d the distance between the inner focal points of the lenses remain constant. The image is larger than the original image. The image is smaller than the original image. There is no effect on the size of the image.
When you use the highest magnification on a microscope, the image is much darker than it is at lower magnifications. What are some possible reasons for the darker image? What could you do to obtain a brighter image?

Applications of Lenses
Suppose the convex lens is re- placed with a concave lens with a focal length of $-5.0 \mathrm{cm}$. (a) Where must the object be placed to form an image with a magnification of $0.50 ?$ (b) What is the location of the image in this case? $(c)$ If we now move the object closer to the lens, does the magnification of the image increase, decrease, or stay the same?
