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…

Students have asked these similar questions

A 3.0 cm tall object is placed along the principal axis of a thin converging lens of 30.0 cm focal length. If the object distance is 40.0 cm, which of the following best describes the image distance and height, respectively?

A 5.87 mm high firefly sits on the axis of, and 12.5 cm in front of, the thin lens A, whose focal length is 6.05 cm. Behind lens A there is another thin lens, lens B, with a focal length of 23.7 cm. The two lenses share a common axis and are 60.7 cm apart. What is the height of this image? Express the answer as a positive number.

- 20 cm. An object of height 2.5 cm is placed at 28 cm in front of a diverging lens of focal length, f = Behind the diverging lens, there is a converging lens of focal length, f = 20 cm. The distance between the lenses is 3 cm. In the next few steps, you will find the location and size of the final image. Hint a. Where is the intermediate image formed by the first diverging lens? Image distance from first lens is cm. (Use the sign to indicate which side the image is on; positive sign d;1 = means image is on the side of outgoing rays, and negative sign means image is on the side opposite to the outgoing rays.) b. Where is the final image formed by the second converging lens? Image distance from second lens is cm. (Use the sign to indicate which side the image is on.) di2 = c. How large is the intermediate image formed by the first diverging lens? Intermediate image height is cm. (Use the sign to indicate whether the image is upright (positive) or hil = inverted (negative).) = d. How…
