Step 1: Given Information.

We have given that:

Diameter= ,

focal length= .

We need to find object distance which gives a

lateral magnification of .

Step 2: Equation.

Object is not close to the focal point .

Approximation, lateral magnification is given:

Step 3: Calculation

represent microscope tube length.

Let us find the value of .

You’ve been asked to build a telescope from a
magnifying lens and a magnifying
lens.

a. What is the maximum magnification you can

achieve?

b. Which lens should be used as the objective?

Explain.

c. What will be the length of your telescope?

FIGURE shows a simple zoom lens in

which the magnitudes of both focal lengths are
. If the spacing , the image of the
converging lens falls on the right side of the
diverging lens. Our procedure of letting the
image of the first lens act as the object of the
second lens will continue to work in this case if
we use a negative object distance for the
second lens. This is called a virtual object.
Consider an object very far to the left
of the converging lens. Define the effective
focal length as the distance from the midpoint
between the lenses to the final image.

a. Show that the effective focal length is

b. What is the zoom for a lens that can be

adjusted from to ?

A microscope with a tube length of

achieves a total magnification of with a
objectives and a eye piece. The
microscope is focused for viewing with a related
eye. how far is the sample from the objective
lens?

A common optical instrument in a laser

laboratory is a beam expander. One type of
beam expander is shown in FIGURE P .
The parallel rays of a laser beam of width w1
enter from the left.

a. For what lens spacing d does a parallel laser

beam exit from the right?

b. What is the width w2 of the exiting laser

beam?

The lens shown in FIGURE CP is called an

achromatic doublet, meaning that it has no
chromatic aberration. The left side is flat, and all
other surfaces have radii of curvature R.

a. For parallel light rays coming from the left,

show that the effective focal length of this two-
lens system is , where
localid="1648757054673" and are,
respectively, the indices of refraction of the
diverging and the converging lenses. Don’t
forget to make the thin-lens approximation.

b. Because of dispersion, either lens alone

would focus red rays and blue rays at different
points. Define and as for
the two lenses. What value of the ratio
makes for the two-lens
system? That is, the two-lens system does not
exhibit chromatic aberration.

c. Indices of refraction for two types of glass are

given in the table. To make an achromatic
doublet, which glass should you use for the
converging lens and which for the diverging
lens? Explain

Crown glass 1.525 1.517

Flint glass 1.632 1.616

d. What value of R gives a focal length of

?
