Chapter 31: Problem 77
The maximum magnification of a simple magnifier occurs with the image at the 25 -cm near point. Show that the angular magnification is \(m=1+(25 \mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{f}),\) where \(f\) is the focal length.

A double-convex lens with equal 28.5 -cm curvature radii is made from glass with refractive indices \(n_{\mathrm{red}}=1.512\) and \(n_{\text {violet }}=1.547 .\) If a point source of white light is located on the lens axis at \(75.0 \mathrm{cm}\) from the lens, over what distance will its visible image be smeared?
A lens has focal length \(f=35 \mathrm{cm} .\) Find the type and height of the image produced when a 2.2 -cm-high object is placed at distances (a) \(f+10 \mathrm{cm}\) and (b) \(f-10 \mathrm{cm} .\)
A candle is on the axis of a \(15-\mathrm{cm}\) -focal-length concave mirror, \(36 \mathrm{cm}\) from the mirror. (a) Where is its image? (b) How do the image and object sizes compare? (c) Is the image real or virtual?
If you're handed a converging lens, what can you do to estimate its focal length quickly?
A lightbulb is \(56 \mathrm{cm}\) from a convex lens. Its image appears on a screen \(31 \mathrm{cm}\) from the lens, on the other side. Find (a) the lens's focal length and (b) how much the image is enlarged or reduced.
