A microscope with an overall magnification of 800 has an objective that magnifies by 200.

(a) What is the magnification of the eyepiece?

(b) If there are two other objectives that can be used, having magnifications of 100 and 400, what other total magnifications are possible?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The magnification of the eyepiece is 4.
  2. The other possible total magnifications are 400 and 1600.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: What does magnification mean on a microscope?

A microscope's ability to produce a picture of an object at a scale greater (or even smaller) than its actual size is known as magnification. Magnification is only beneficial when it is feasible to see more details of an object in a picture than when looking at it with the unaided eye.

02

Given information and Formula to be used(a)

mtotal=800mobj=200mtotal=800mobj=200

The magnification of the eyepiece can be obtained using the expression,

mtotal=mobjmeyepiecemeyepiece=mtotalm…â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦..(1)

Substitute the given data in the above expression will give,

meyepiece=4

Therefore, the eyepiece's magnification is 4.

03

What other total magnifications are possible? (b)

For the first objective m1obj gets,

m1obj=100×4=800

For the second objective role="math" localid="1654000885859" m2obj gets,

m2obj=400×4=1600

Therefore, the other total magnifications are 400 and 1600.

Consider a telescope of the type used by Galileo, having a convex objective and a concave eyepiece as illustrated in Figure 26.23(a). Construct a problem in which you calculate the location and size of the image produced. Among the things to be considered are the focal lengths of the lenses and their relative placements as well as the size and location of the object. Verify that the angular magnification is greater than one. That is, the angle subtended at the eye by the image is greater than the angle subtended by the object.

(a) During laser vision correction, a brief burst of 193nm ultraviolet light is projected onto the cornea of the patient. It makes a spot 1.00mm in diameter and deposits 0.500mJ of energy. Calculate the depth of the layer ablated, assuming the corneal tissue has the same properties as water and is initially at 34.00C. The tissue’s temperature is increased to 1000Cand evaporated without further temperature increase. (b) Does your answer imply that the shape of the cornea can be finely controlled?

The contact lens prescription for a mildly farsighted person is 0.750 D, and the person has a near point of 29.0 cm. What is the power of the tear layer between the cornea and the lens if the correction is ideal, taking the tear layer into account?

Unless otherwise stated, the lens-to-retina distance is 2.00 cm.

In a LASIK vision correction, the power of a patient’s eye is increased by 3.00 D. Assuming this produces normal close vision, what was the patient’s near point before the procedure?

If the cornea is to be reshaped (this can be done surgically or with contact lenses) to correct myopia, should its curvature be made greater or smaller? Explain. Also explain how hyperopia can be corrected.
