Optical instrument magnifying glass – problems and solutions

1. A 2 mm high object is placed 10 cm from a magnifying glass. Near point N = 25 cm. Determine the
angular magnification and image height.
Known :
Object height (ho) = 2 mm
Near point (N) = 25 cm
Object distance (do) = 10 cm
Wanted : Angular magnification (M) and image height (hi)
Solution :
M=N/s
M = 25 cm / 10 cm
M = 2.5
The image height = 2.5 x 2 mm = 5 mm.

2. A 25 cm focal length lens is used as magnifying glass. Determine (a) angular magnification when the
eye is focused at its near point N = 25 cm (b) angular magnification when the eye is relaxed.
Known :
Near point (N) = 25 cm
The focal length of magnifying glass (f) = 25 cm
The plus sign indicates that the lens is converging lens.
Solution :
