The schematic illustrates the far point and near point of the eye. Given that q = 5 m, p = [p] cm, and d = 1.7 cm, determine the refractive power (in diopters) of a corrective lens required so that objects at a distance of 25 cm can be seen clearly.

A converging lens has a focal length of 5 cm. An object forms a virtual image, which is located at 12 cm to the right of the lens. The image height is [hi] cm. What is the object height (unit in cm)? Express the answer as a positive quantity. [Hint: is the image upright or inverted?]

You combine two thin lenses by placing them in contact so that their axes coincide, forming what is called a compound lens. The focal lengths of the lenses are 30 cm and −50 cm, respectively. If an object is [ho] cm tall and d1 = [d1] cm, what is the height of the image (unit in cm)? Express the answer as a positive quantity.

A slide projector needs to create a 98-cm-high image of a 2.0-cm-tall slide. The screen is [d] cm from the slide. What focal length does the lens need (unit in cm)? Assume that it is a thin lens. [Hint: the image is real or virtual?]
