The cornea behaves as a thin lens of focal length approximately 1.80 cm , although this varies a bit. The material of which it is made has an index of refraction of 1.38, and its front surface is convex, with a radius of curvature of 5.00 mm . (Note: The results obtained here are not strictly accurate, because, on one side, the cornea has a fluid with a refractive index different from that of air.) Part A: If this focal...

Two converging lenses are placed 40.0 cm apart. The focal length of the lens on the right is 21.0 cm , and the focal length of the lens on the left is 10.5 cm . An object is placed to the left of the 10.5 cm focal-length lens. A final image from both lenses is inverted and located halfway between the two lenses. How far to the left of the 10.5 cmcm focal-length lens is the original object?

A simple camera telephoto lens consists of two lenses. The objective lens has a focal length f1 = 39.5 cm . Precisely 36.3 cm behind this lens is a concave lens with a focal length f2 = -10.2 cm . The object to be photographed is 4.02 m in front of the objective lens. A) How far behind the concave lens should the film be placed? B) What is the linear magnification of this lens combination?
