Chapter 26 Problem 88

Question

A person using a magnifying glass as in Figure 26.39b observes that for clear vision its maximum angular magnifi cation is 1.25 times as large as its minimum angular magnifi cation. Assuming that the person has a near point located 25 cm from her eye, what is the focal length of the magnifying glass?

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 26 problem number 88 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A person using a magnifying glass as in Figure 26.39b observes that for clear vision its maximum angular magnifi cation is 1.25 times as large as its minimum angular magnifi cation. Assuming that the person has a near point located 25 cm from her eye, what is the focal length of the magnifying glass?
From the textbook chapter The Refraction of Light: Lenses and Optical Instruments you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
