Ray Optics

Optics is the study of light in the field of physics. It refers to the study and properties of light. Optical phenomena can be classified into three categories: ray optics, wave optics, and quantum optics. Geometrical optics, also known as ray optics, is…

Converging Lens

Converging lens, also known as a convex lens, is thinner at the upper and lower edges and thicker at the center. The edges are curved outwards. This lens can converge a beam of parallel rays of light that is coming from outside and focus it on a point on…

Plano-Convex Lens

To understand the topic well we will first break down the name of the topic, ‘Plano Convex lens’ into three separate words and look at them individually.

Lateral Magnification

In very simple terms, the same object can be viewed in enlarged versions of itself, which we call magnification. To rephrase, magnification is the ability to enlarge the image of an object without physically altering its dimensions and structure. This pr…

Textbook Question

Chapter 18, Problem 68GP

A 1.0-cm-tall object is 20 cm in front of a converging lens that has a 10 cm focal length. Use ray tracing to find the position and height of the image. To do this accurately, use a ruler or paper with a grid. Determine the image distance and image height by making measurements on your diagram.

Students have asked these similar questions

An object (height = 5.0 cm) and its image are on opposite sides of a converging lens. The object is located 11.0 cm from the lens. The image is located 5.3 cm from the lens. Determine the image height (in cm). Enter the numerical part of your answer to two significant figures. Hint: Remember that the sign of the image height is significant.

A 4 cm tall light bulb is placed a distance of 35.5 cm from a diverging lens whose focal length magnitude is 12.2 cm. Determine the image distance from the lens, the image height, and the magnification. Put into words what your calculations physically represent about the image.

Problem 8: Consider the compound optical system shown in the diagram, where two thin lenses of focal lengths 7.5 cm (left lens) and 7.5 cm (right lens) are separated by a distance 45 cm. a. If an object is placed a distance do = 17.3 cm to the left of the first lens (the left one) as shown in the figure, how far to the right of that lens, in centimeters, is the image formed? b. What is the magnification of the first lens? c. What is the object distance, in centimeters, for the second lens (the right lens)? d. What is the image distance, in centimeters, for the second lens? e. What is the magnification of the second lens?
