Problem

A student uses a convex lens as a simple magnifier during a laboratory activity. a. (i) The focal length of the lens is 5 cm5\,\text{cm}. Determine the magnifying power obtained when the final image is at infinity for a normal eye whose least distance of distinct vision is 25 cm25\,\text{cm}. b. (ii) If the same lens is used by a child whose near point is 20 cm20\,\text{cm}, calculate the magnifying power under identical viewing conditions (final image at infinity).
