Get started for freeYour task in physics laboratory is to make a microscope from two lenses. One lens has a focal length of 2.0 cm, the other 1.0 cm. You plan to use the more powerful lens as the objective, and you want the eyepiece to be 16 cm from the objective.
a. For viewing with a relaxed eye, how far should the sample be from the objective lens?
b. What is the magnification of your microscope?
Two converging lenses with focal lengths of 40 cm and 20 cm are 10 cm apart. A 2.0-cm-tall object is 15 cm in front of the 40-cm-focal-length lens. a). Use ray tracing to find the position and height of the image. Do this accurately using a ruler or paper with a grid, then make measurements on your diagram.
b). Calculate the image position and height. Compare with your ray-tracing answers in part a.
A red card is illuminated by red light. What color will the card appear? What if itโs illuminated by blue light?
A converging lens with a focal length of and a diverging lens with a focal length of are apart. A tall object is in front of the converging lens.
a. Use ray tracing to find the position and height of the image. Do this accurately using a ruler or paper with a grid, then make measurements on your diagram.
b. Calculate the image position and height. Compare with your ray-tracing answers in part a.
