A lens with a power of +10 D is used as a simple microscope. (a) For the image of an object to be seen clearly, can the object be placed infinitely close to the lens, or is there a limit on how close it can be? Explain. (b) Calculate how close an object can be brought to the lens. (c) What is the angular magnification at this point?
