(a)
The position, height and type of the image of high insect away from a lens of focal length .
Answer to Problem 57P
Solution:
The image will be formed after the lens and have a height of . The image will be real.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Focal length, .
Object distance,
Formula used:
Lens equation,
Where, and are lens to focal, lens to object and lens to image distances respectively, negative when opposite to optical path and positive when in the direction of optical path.
Magnification,
Calculation:
From the given data we know that, , Substituting them in lens equation we get-
This gives,
Image height object height = cm
This will be a real image.
(b)
The position, height and type of the image if focal length is
Answer to Problem 57P
Solution:
The virtual image will be formed before the lens and have a height of . The image will be virtual.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Focal length, .
Object distance,
Formula used:
Lens equation,
Where, and are lens to focal, lens to object and lens to image distances respectively, negative when opposite to optical path and positive when in the direction of optical path.
Magnification,
Calculation:
Using lens equation,
This gives,
Image height object height = cm
This will be a virtual image as image distance is negative.
