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…

Problem 8: Consider the compound optical system shown in the diagram, where two thin lenses of focal lengths 7.5 cm (left lens) and 7.5 cm (right lens) are separated by a distance 45 cm. a. If an object is placed a distance do = 17.3 cm to the left of the first lens (the left one) as shown in the figure, how far to the right of that lens, in centimeters, is the image formed? b. What is the magnification of the first lens? c. What is the object distance, in centimeters, for the second lens (the right lens)? d. What is the image distance, in centimeters, for the second lens? e. What is the magnification of the second lens?

Shown in the figure below is a system containing two lenses and an object. The focal lengths of the two lenses are f₁ = -15 cm and f₂ = 7.5 cm. The two lengths indicated in the figure are L₁ = 22.5 cm and L₂ = 12 cm. 4₁ f₁ f₂ Determine all the following about the image from the first lens only: Object distance for the first lens, do1. cm Image distance for the first lens, d¡1. Magnification of the first lens, m₁. cm The second lens uses the image from the first lens as its object. Determine all the following about the image from the second lens: Object distance for the second lens, do1. cm Image distance for the second lens, d¡₁. Magnification of the second lens, m₁. Determine the magnification of the whole system, mtot. cm Select the correct attributes of the final image of the system: O virtual O real O shrunk O enlarged O right side up O upside down NOTE: Throughout the problem be careful with the sign of every quantity.
