Answer:
1) P₁ = -2 D, 2) P₂ = 6 D
Explanation:
for this exercise in geometric optics let's 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
1) to see a distant object it must be at infinity (p = ∞)
q = f₁
2) for an object located at p = 25 cm
We can that in the two expressions we have the distance to the image, this is the distance where it can be seen clearly in general for a normal person is q = 50 cm
we substitute in the equations
1) f₁ = -50 cm
2)
= 0.06
f₂ = 16.67 cm
the expression for the power of the lenses is
P =
where the focal length is in meters
1) P₁ = 1/0.50
P₁ = -2 D
2) P₂ = 1 /0.16667
P₂ = 6 D
