Plants and animals need nitrogen in order to make proteins. Proteins are essential compounds for healthy growth and fully functioning organisms.
Answer:
The focal length of the lens should be -51.5 cm (a concave lens).
Explanation:
The purpose of the lens is to make objects at 48.5 cm appear at the healthy near point. The healthy near point is 25.0 cm.
We use the lens formula

where <em>f</em> = focal length, <em>u</em> = object distance and <em>v</em> = image distance.
In this case, <em>u</em> = 48.5 cm and <em>v</em> = -25.0 cm.
<em>v</em> is negative because the image is virtual an not real. (Here, we are using the real-is-positive sign convention)


The negative sign indicates the lens is concave.
