Angular magnification, given F and di

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the angular magnification of a magnifying glass used by a jeweler with a near point of 40.0 cm and a lens focal length of 5.00 cm. The formula used is 1/f = 1/do + 1/di, leading to the angular magnification equation M = (1/f - 1/q)N.P. The user initially calculated the magnification as 7.76 cm but later corrected it to 8.24 cm. The confusion arose from the unit of measurement, emphasizing the importance of accuracy in calculations. The thread highlights the challenges faced in understanding optical magnification concepts.

A Jeweler, whose near point is 40.0cm from his eye, is using a magnifying glass to examine a gold ring. The lens of the magnifying glass has a focal length of 5.00cm ( part C) Determine the angular magnification of the magnifying glass when the virtual image of the ring is located 165 cm from the lens.
1/f = 1/do + 1/di
M = (1/f - 1/q)N.P.
[(1/5) - (1/165)]40cm = 7.76cm (right answer is 8.24 centimeters ***edit NOT meters. just cm I am just tired and almost done my last exam*** ) and i can't figure out how to get it

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
