Chapter 35: Answers to Stop to Think Questions and Odd-Numbered Exercises and Problems

Stop to Think Questions

  1. 1. b. A diverging lens refracts rays away from the optical axis, so the rays will travel farther down the axis before converging.

  2. 2. a. Because the shutter speed doesn’t change, the f-number must remain unchanged. The f-number is f/D, so increasing f requires increasing D.

  3. 3. a. A magnifier is a converging lens. Converging lenses are used to correct hyperopia.

  4. 4. b. The objective forms a real image, but the image of the eyepiece—a magnifier—is a virtual image inside the microscope that the eye can view.

  5. 5. wA>wD>wB=wC. The spot size is proportional to f/D.
