Answer

(a) $7.85mm $ (b) $10cm $ (c) $5.1cm $

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $\frac{1}{d_{\circ}}=\frac{1}{f_{obj}}-\frac{1}{L+f_{obj}}$ This can be rearranged as: $ d_{\circ}=\frac{(f_{obj})(L+f_{obj})}{L}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $ d_{\circ}=\frac{(7.50mm)(160mm+7.50mm)}{160mm}$ $\implies d_{\circ}=7.85mm $ (b) We know that $ f_e=\frac{-(L+f_{obj})N}{f_{obj}M_{total}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $ f_e=-\frac{(0.160m+0.0075m)(0.25m)}{(0.00750m)(-55)}$ $ f_e=0.1015m $ $\implies f_e=10cm $ (c) We know that $ f_e=-\frac{(L+f_{obj})N}{f_{obj}M_{total}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $ f_e=\frac{(0.160m+0.0075m)(0.25m)}{(0.0075m)(-110)}$ $ f_e=0.050m $ $ f_e=5.1cm $
