Answer

a) 1.5 cm b) 1.1 cm

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $ h_i=-\frac{d_i}{d_{\circ}}\times h_{\circ}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $ h_i=-\frac{2.5cm}{320cm}$ $ h_i=-1.48cm $ The negative sign indicates that the image on the retina is inverted. (b) As $ h_i=-\frac{d_i}{d_{\circ}}\times h_{\circ}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $ h_i=-\frac{2.5cm}{420cm}$ $ h_i=1.1cm $
