A man with normal near point (25 cm) reads a book with small print using a magnifying glass: a thin convex lens of focal length 5 cm- What is the closest and the farthest distance at which he should keep the lens from the page so that he can read the book when viewing through the magnifying glass?

A man with normal near point (25 cm) reads a book with small print using a magnifying glass: a thin convex lens of focal length 5 cm- What is the maximum and the minimum angular magnification (magnifying power) possible using the above simple microscope?

A card sheet divided into squares each of size 1 mm^2 is being viewed at a distance of 9 cm through a magnifying glass (a converging lens of focal length 10 cm) held close to the eye. What should be the distance between the object in converging lens and the magnifying glass if the virtual image of each square in the figure is to have an area of 6.25 mm^2 . Would you be able to see the squares distinctly with your eyes very close to the magnifier ?
