Camera adjustments:
Shutter speed: A faster shutter speed makes a
sharper picture.
f-stop: controls the maximum opening of the
shutter. This allows the right amount of light to
enter to properly expose the film, and must be
adjusted for external light conditions.
Focusing: this adjusts the position of the lens
so that the image is positioned on the film.

Magnifying Glass
A magnifying glass (simple magnifier) is a
converging lens. It allows us to focus on objects
closer than the near point, so that they make a
larger, and therefore clearer, image on the retina.
Magnifying Glass
The power of a magnifying glass is described
by its angular magnification:
Telescopes
-two lenses at opposite ends of a long tube.
-The objective lens is closest to the object
-the eyepiece is closest to the eye.
-The magnification is given by:
f0 = focal point of the objective
fe = focal point of the eyepiece
Terrestial Telescope
-known as Galilean telescope
-Real and inverted image is formed by the
objective
-The image is then acts as an object for the
eyepiece
-The eyepiece will form virtual inverted magnified
-Therefore final image is virtual upright and
magnified
Compound Microscope
A compound microscope has an objective (converging lens)
and an eyepiece (converging lens) a distance l apart. The object
is placed close to the objective, to form an enlarged real image
I1, which is magnified by the eyepiece acting as a magnifying
glass.
