A nearsighted person has her distant vision corrected using a -2.0-diopter contact lens. Her uncorrected near point is 15 cm. What is her near point using this lens if the lens is 2.0 cm from the eye?

A magnifying lens has a focal length of 10 cm. A person has a near point of 25 cm and a far point at infinity. What is the angular magnification of the lens for that person when their eyes are focused at infinity?

A singer is farsighted and cannot see objects clearly that are closer than 80.0 cm from his unaided eye. What is the refractive power of the contact lenses that will move his near point to a distance of 25.0 cm from his eye?

You have available lenses of focal lengths 2.0 cm, 4.0 cm, 8.0 cm, and 16.0 cm. (a) If you were to use any two of these lenses to build a telescope, what is the maximum magnification you could achieve? (b) If you were to use any two of these lenses to build a telescope, what is the lens separation for the maximum magnification telescope?

What is the angular magnification of a magnifying glass of focal length 4.0 cm if the image is to be viewed by a relaxed eye (image at the far point) having a near point of 25 cm and a far point at infinity?

A radio telescope 200 m in diameter is used to investigate sources emitting a 21-cm wavelength wave. What is the minimum angular separation of the sources that can be resolved by this system?

The distance between the object and the eyepiece of a compound microscope is 18.0 cm. The focal length of its objective lens is 0.80 cm and the eyepiece has a focal length of 2.3 cm. The near-point distance of the person using the microscope is 25.0 cm. What is the total overall magnification of the microscope?

The focal lengths of the objective and the eyepiece of a microscope are 0.50 cm and 2.0 cm, respectively, and their separation adjusted for minimum eyestrain (with the final image at the viewer's far point) is 6.0 cm. The near point of the person using the microscope is 25 cm and the far point is infinity. (a) If the microscope is focused on a small object, what is the distance between the object and the objective lens? (b) If the microscope is focused on a small object, what is its final magnification?

A 10-inch telescope (25.4 cm in diameter) is used to determine if what appears to be one star is actually two stars. Stars are so far away that they are essentially point sources. How close (in angle) can the two stars be and still be resolved by this telescope if it is focusing light of wavelength of 550 nm? (Consider only the limitation due to diffraction.)

The angular magnification of a refracting telescope is 40 x. When the object and final image are both at infinity, the distance between the eyepiece and the objective is 143.5 cm. The telescope is used to view a distant radio tower. The real image of the tower, formed by the objective, is 6.0 mm in height. The focal point of the eyepiece is positioned at the real image. What is the focal length of the objective lens?
