Lenses with given radii. Object O stands in front of a thin lens, on the central axis. For this situation, each problem in the table (below) gives object distance p, index of refraction n of the lens, radius r of the nearer lens surface, and radius r2 of the farther lens surface. (All distances are in centimeters.) Find (a) the image distance i and (b) the lateral magnification m of the object, including signs. Also, determine whether the image is (c) real or virtual, (d) inverted from object O or noninverted, and (e) on the same side of the lens as object O or on the opposite side.
