Question
Keesha is looking at a beetle with a magnifying glass. She wants to see an upright, enlarged image at a distance of 25 cm. The focal length of the magnifying glass is +5.0 cm. Assume that Keesha’s eye is close to the magnifying glass.
(a) What should be the distance between the magnifying glass and the beetle?
(b) What is the angular magnification?

Answer:
a) p = 4.167 cm, b) m = + 6
Explanation:
a) For this exercise we must use the equation of the constructor
where f is the focal length, p and q are the distance to the object and the image, respectively
In this case the distance to the image q = 25 cm and the focal length is f = 5.0 cm
Since the object and its image are on the same side of the lens, the distance to the image by the sign convention must be negative.
p = 4.167 cm
b) angular magnification
m = h ’/ h = – q / p
m = – (-25) /4.167
m = + 6
the positive sign indicates that the image is straight and enlarged
