after using the idea of ray tracing techniques to confirm that the image is virtual and upright and a distance, explain how a magnifying glass works. You should know that the eye is approximately 2.5 cm in diameter, and the nearest point to an object that an average eye can focus on is 25 cm.

Expert Solution

A magnifying glass is a convex lens. Convex means curved outward, like the underside of a spoon or the dome of a sports stadium. It is the opposite of concave, or curved inward. A lens is something that allows light rays to pass through it and bends, or refracts, them as they do so. A magnifying glass uses a convex lens because these lenses cause light rays to converge, or come together.

A magnifying glass, in effect, tricks your eyes into seeing what isn't there. Light rays from the object enter the glass in parallel but are refracted by the lens so that they converge as they exit, and create a "virtual image" on the retina of your eye. This image appears to be larger than the object itself because of simple geometry: Your eyes trace the light rays back in straight lines to the virtual image, which is farther from your eyes than the object is and thus appears bigger.

The procedure known as ray tracing is a pictorial method for understanding image formation when lenses or mirrors are used. It consists of locating the image by the use of just three "special rays." The following tactics box explains this procedure for the case of a converging lens.TACTICS BOX 23.2 Ray tracing for a converging lensDraw an optical axis. Use graph paper or a ruler. Establish an appropriate scale.Center the lens on the axis. Mark and label the focal points...

Q1: Explain the difference between a real image and a virtual image created by a thin lens. Use one or more of the axioms of ray tracing in the explanation. What's not right with the real image when there is no viewing screen there, just air? Q2: Explain the difference between the inverted image and the real image. Q3: Name and explain two major steps in deriving the thin-lens equation. Write out the thin-lens equation and explain the variables featured.

You need to apply multiple photoshop techniques on an image. The following techniques to be applied: Image retouching Image stretching and equify technique Changing background (white) The above techniques need to be applied to an image with a person. You can have as many layers as you need but keep the original image layer at bottom so that it can be compared with the edited image.
