A converging lens of focal length f=2 cm is used to focus the image of an object onto a screen. The object and screen are separated by 15 cm. The lens is placed between the object and the screen, at a distance from the screen such that the image of the object is focused into the screen. At what distance from the screen must the lens be placed in order to have an image magnification < 1? Provide your answer to two significant figures. distance = cm.

It has become common to replace the cataract-clouded lens of the eye with an internal lens. This intraocular lens can be chosen so that the person has perfect distant vision. Will the person be able to read without glasses? If the person was nearsighted, is the power of the intraocular lens greater or less than the removed lens?
