    Calculating Objective Lens Focal Length for Compound Microscope

    there is still something wrong with it i can't figure out what i was thinking maybe the sign has to be negetive since the final image is going to be to the left of the second lens meaning (1/Di1)-(1/14.8-Di)=(1/4.92)

    Calculating Objective Lens Focal Length for Compound Microscope

    hmm. by saying its the sum of the two distances I am assuming ur saying that its the distance between the two lenses of the compund microscope so i guess i can plug that into my 2nd equation making it look like this (1/Di1)+(1/14.8-Di1)=(1/4.92) am i close :D. by the way how do u know to reply...

    Calculating Objective Lens Focal Length for Compound Microscope

    i think i see what you are saying but now I am more confused. this is how i have started to set it up again. what i don't seem to understand is how to use the 14.8 which is the length of the barrel. I am not sure if I am suppose to use it to find Df (distance of final image)or something...

    Calculating Objective Lens Focal Length for Compound Microscope

    Homework Statement The barrel of a compound microscope is 14.8 cm in length. The specimen will be mounted 1.03 cm from the objective, and the eyepiece has a 4.92 cm focal length. Determine the focal length of the objective lens Homework Equations (1/Do)+(1/Di)= (1/f) The Attempt...

    Writing down algebraic expression

    so does that mean that delta L/L= C/v. and since v is smaller than the speed of light would the answer be delta L (L is lambda)/L=C

    Writing down algebraic expression

    Homework Statement An object emitting light with a wavelength of L is traveling away from you with a relative speed of v, which is small compared to the speed of light. Write down the algebraic expression for the fractional change in wavelength between what you observe and what the object...

    I have no idea where to start with this plane mirror question

    Homework Statement does anyone know how to do this plane mirror question? The rear window in a car is approximately a rectangle, 1.29 m wide and 0.330 m high. The inside rear-view mirror is 0.480 m from the driver's eyes, and 1.27 m from the rear window. What is the minimum height of the...

    Need help with the 2nd part of a frequency/ relative speed quesiton

    Homework Statement A galaxy known to be traveling away from the Earth at 0.650 percent of the speed of light is observed on Earth to have a strong peak in its spectrum at 649.1 nm. However, one small portion of the galaxy (a "dwarf") has a similar observed peak with a wavelength that is 4.50...
