HOMEWORK (TUTORIAL 5)

1) A camera lens has a focal length of 50.0 mm. Photographs are taken of objects located at various
positions, from an infinite distance away to as close as 6.00 m from the lens. (a) For an object at
infinity, at what distance from the lens is the image formed? (b) For an object at a distance of
6.00 m, at what distance from the lens is the image formed?

2) Without her contact lenses, Dana cannot see clearly an object more than 40.0 cm away. What
refractive powershould her contact lenses have to give her normal vision?

3) If Salim needs to wear reading glasses with refractive power of + 3.0 D, what is his uncorrected
near point? Neglect the distance between the glasses and the eye.

4) The uncorrected far point of Lees eye is 2.0 m. What refractive power contact lens enables him
to clearly distinguish objects at large distances?

5) Winifred is unable to focus on objects closer than 2.50 m from her eyes. What refractive power
should her corrective lenses have?

6) Siti is examining a square stamp of side 3.00 cm with a magnifying glass of refractive power +
40.0 D. The magnifier forms an image of the stamp at a distance of 25.0 cm. Assume that Sitis
eye is close to the magnifying glass. (a) What is the distance between the stamp and the
magnifier? (b) What is the angular magnification? (c) How large is the image formed by the
magnifier?

7) A converging lens with a focal length of 4.00 cm is used as a simple magnifier. The lens forms a
virtual image at your near point, 25.0 cm from your eye. Where should the object be placed and
what is the angular magnification? Assume that the magnifier is held close to your eye.

8) Thomas wants to use his 5.5-D reading glasses as a simple magnifier. What is the angular
magnification of this lens when Thomass eye is relaxed?

9) A compound microscope has an objective lens of focal length 1.40 cm and an eyepiece with a
focal length of 2.20 cm. The objective and the eyepiece are separated by 19.6 cm. The final image
is at infinity. (a) What is the angular magnification? (b) How far from the objective should the
object be placed?

10) A telescope has an objective lens of 1.016 m (40 in.) in diameter and has a focal length of 19.8 m
(65 ft). If the magnifying power is 508, what is the focal length of the eyepiece?
