What should be the distance between the object and the magnifying glass if the virtual image of each square in the figure is to have an area of 6.25 mm2. Would you be able to see the squares distinctly with your eyes very close to the magnifier?

उत्तर
Area of the virtual image of each square, A = 6.25 mm2
Area of each square, A0 = 1 mm2
Hence, the linear magnification of the object can be calculated as:
m = `sqrt("A"/"A"_0)`
`= sqrt((6.25)/1)`
= 2.5
But m = `("Image distance (v)")/"Object distnace (u)"`
∴ v = mu = 2.5 u ............(1)
Focal length of the magnifying glass, f = 10 cm
According to the lens formula, we have the relation:
`1/"f" = 1/"v" - 1/"u"`
`1/10 = 1/(2.5"u") - 1/"u" = 1/"u" (1/2.5 - 1/1) = 1/"u" ((1-2.5)/2.5)`
∴ u = `- (1.5 xx 10)/2.5` = −6 cm
And v = 2.5 u
= 2.5 × 6 = −15 cm
The virtual image is formed at a distance of 15 cm, which is less than the near point (i.e., 25 cm) of a normal eye. Hence, it cannot be seen by the eyes distinctly.

A virtual image, we always say, cannot be caught on a screen. Yet when we ‘see’ a virtual image, we are obviously bringing it on to the ‘screen’ (i.e., the retina) of our eye. Is there a contradiction?
For a normal eye, the far point is at infinity and the near point of distinct vision is about 25cm in front of the eye. The cornea of the eye provides a converging power of about 40 dioptres, and the least converging power of the eye-lens behind the cornea is about 20 dioptres. From this rough data estimate the range of accommodation (i.e., the range of converging power of the eye-lens) of a normal eye.
Does short-sightedness (myopia) or long-sightedness (hypermetropia) imply necessarily that the eye has partially lost its ability of accommodation? If not, what might cause these defects of vision?
A person looking at a person wearing a shirt with a pattern comprising vertical and horizontal lines is able to see the vertical lines more distinctly than the horizontal ones. What is this defect due to? How is such a defect of vision corrected?
The angle subtended at the eye by an object is equal to the angle subtended at the eye by the virtual image produced by a magnifying glass. In what sense then does a magnifying glass provide angular magnification?
In viewing through a magnifying glass, one usually positions one’s eyes very close to the lens. Does angular magnification change if the eye is moved back?
When objects at different distances are seen by the eye, which of the following remain constant?
A person A can clearly see objects between 25 cm and 200 cm. Which of the following may represent the range of clear vision for a person B having muscles stronger than A, but all other parameters of eye identical to that of A?
The focal length of a normal eye-lens is about
A man wearing glasses of focal length +1 m cannot clearly see beyond 1 m
A person looks at different trees in an open space with the following details. Arrange the trees in decreasing order of their apparent sizes.
| Tree | Height(m) | Distance from the eye(m) |
| A | 2.0 | 50 |
| B | 2.5 | 80 |
| C | 1.8 | 70 |
| D | 2.8 | 100 |
Can virtual image be formed on the retina in a seeing process?
A nearsighted person cannot see beyond 25 cm. Assuming that the separation of the glass from the eye is 1 cm, find the power of lens needed to see distant objects.
A myopic adult has a far point at 0.1 m. His power of accomodation is 4 diopters.
- What power lenses are required to see distant objects?
- What is his near point without glasses?
- What is his near point with glasses? (Take the image distance from the lens of the eye to the retina to be 2 cm.)
