Concept explainers
Two thin convex lenses and an object are arranged as shown below. Two rays from the tip of the object are drawn in order to determine the location of the image produced by lens 1. Lens 2 is placed so that one of its focal points coincides with the location of the image produced by lens 1
- Treating the image produced by lens 1 as an object for lens 2, draw two rays from the tip of this image that pass through lens 2. (Note that one of the principal rays cannot be drawn in this case.)
Using either geometry or trigonometry, show that these two principal rays are parallel on the right side of lens 2. (Hint: Look for congruent fight triangles in your ray diagram.)

- An object is placed 24.1 cm to the left of a diverging lens (f = -6.51 cm). A concave mirror (f= 14.8 cm) is placed 30.2 cm to the right of the lens to form an image of the first image formed by the lens. Find the final image distance, measured relative to the mirror. (b) Is the final image real or virtual? (c) Is the final image upright or inverted with respect to the original object?arrow_forwardConcept Simulation 26.4 provides the option of exploring the ray diagram that applies to this problem. The distance between an object and its image formed by a diverging lens is 5.90 cm. The focal length of the lens is -2.60 cm. Find (a) the image distance and (b) the object distance.arrow_forwardPls help ASAParrow_forward
