Concept explainers

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 19, Problem 7P

An older camera has a lens with a focal length of 50 mm and uses 36-mm-wide film to record its images. Using this camera, a photographer takes a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge that completely spans the width of the film. Now he wants to take a picture of the bridge using his digital camera with its 12-mm-wide CCD detector. What focal length should this camera’s lens have for the image of the bridge to cover the entire detector?
