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 24, Problem 10CQ

Without measuring its radii of curvature (which is not so easy to do), explain how you can experimentally determine the focal length of (a) a converging lens, (b) a diverging lens. Your apparatus consists of viewing screens and an optical bench on which to mount the lenses and measure distances.

Students have asked these similar questions

if its mmage on the fim is to be in focus. What is the magnification? (b) An extension tube is added between the lens and the camera body so that the lens can be positioned 100 mm from film. How close can the object be now? What is the magnification? 5. The focal length of a diverging lens is negative. If ƒ= −20 cm for a particular diverging lens, where will the image be formed of an object located 50 cm to the left of the lens on the optical axis? What is the magnification of the image? 6. The equation connecting s, p, and ffor a simple lens can be employed for spherical mirrors, too. A concave mirror with a focal length of 8 cm forms an image of a small object placed 10 cm in front of the mirror. Where will this image be located? 17. If the mirror described in the previous problem is used to form an image of the same object now located 16 cm in front of the mirror, what would the new image position be? Assuming that the magnification equations developed for

A thick lens has the following properties: Radius of the front surface: R₁ = 5.0 cm Radius of the back surface: R₂ = -5.0 cm Thickness: d = 0.5 cm Index of refraction: n = 1.52 Consider the effective focal length of this lens (feff). What would the percentage error for the focal length be (relative to feff) if you were to assume that this were a thin lens? Select one: O 1.7 2.5 0 O O O O 3.6

In a Keplerian telescope, the focal length of the objective lens is: fo = 80 mm, the focal length of the eyepiece is: fe = 10 mm. The size of the objective lens is an aperture stop of the telescope, in which DE = 0.5. A field stop is placed in the back focal plane of the objective lens. Please use the thin lens equation to compute and find: 1) The location and size of exit pupil of the telescope from the eyepiece. 2) The entrance and exit window locations of the telescope. 3) Angular magnification power of the telescope.
