Question

Two people, Micah and Lyra, with different near points are equally close to an object. Both inspect the object through the same magnifier by holding the lens close to the eye. Micah's near point is located farther away from his eye than Lyra's near point is located relative to her eye. Micah will experience a larger magnification for which of the following reasons?


When the object is located at his near point, the angular size of the object is smaller for Micah than for Lyra.

Micah sees a larger image than Lyra sees.

Micah can see the image clearly from a larger distance than Lyra can.

Lyra can see the image clearly from a larger distance than Micah can.

The angular size of the image relative to the angular size of the object at the near point is greater for Micah than for Lyra.

Explanation / Answer

1. When the object is located at his near point, the angular size of the object is smaller for Micah than for Lyra.

5. The angular size of the image relative to the angular size of the object at the near point is greater for Micah than for Lyra.
