You use a lens of diameter and light of wavelength and frequency to form an image of two closely spaced and distant objects. Which of the following will increase the resolving power? (a) Use a lens with a smaller diameter; (b) use light of higher frequency; (c) use light of longer wavelength. In each case justify your answer.
A spherical, concave shaving mirror has a radius of curvature of 32.0 cm. (a) What is the magnification of a person’s face when it is 12.0 cmto the left of the vertex of the mirror? (b) Where is the image? Is the image real or virtual? (c) Draw a principal-ray diagram showing the formation of the image.
