Ray Optics

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 33, Problem 54P

(II) Sherlock Holmes is using an 8.80-cm-focal-length lens as his magnifying glass. To obtain maximum magnification, where must the object be placed (assume a normal eye), and what will be the magnification?

Students have asked these similar questions

(II) Two 25.0-cm-focal-length converging lenses are placed 16.5 cm apart. An object is placed 35.0 cm in front of one lens. Where will the final image formed by the second lens be located? What is the total magnification?

4. (C)A magnifying glass, very close to the human eye, produces an angular magnification of 6 when the imageis 25 cm from the lens. What is the focal length of the magnifying glass? Is the image upright orinverted?

(i) Solve the problem below: 5.47 Compute the image location and magnification of an object 30 cm from the front doublet of the thin-lens combination in Fig. P.5.47. Do the calculation by finding the effect of each lens sepa- rately. Make a sketch of appropriate rays. 15 cm fj = 40 cm = -28 cm (ii) In addition, determine the effective focal length of the two-lens system and locate the principal planes.
