Figure P34.72 shows a small plant near a thin lens. The ray shown is one of the principal rays for the lens. Each square is 2.0 cm along the horizontal direction, but the vertical direction is not to the same scale. Use information from the diagram for the following: (a) Using only the ray shown, decide what type of lens (converging or diverging) this is. (b) What is the focal length of the lens? (c) Locate the image by drawing the other two principal rays. (d) Calculate where the image should be, and compare this result with the graphical solution in part (c).

- The radius of curvature of the left-hand face of a flint glass biconvex lens (n = 1.60) has a magnitude of 8.00 cm, and the radius of curvature of the right-hand face has a magnitude of 11.0 cm. The incident surface of a biconvex lens is convex regardless of which side is the incident side. What is the focal length of the lens if light is incident on the lens from the left?arrow_forwardTwo converging lenses having focal lengths of f1 = 10.0 cm and f2 = 20.0 cm are placed a distance d = 50.0 cm apart as shown in Figure P35.48. The image due to light passing through both lenses is to be located between the lenses at the position x = 31.0 cm indicated. (a) At what value of p should the object be positioned to the left of the first lens? (b) What is the magnification of the final image? (c) Is the final image upright or inverted?

(a) What is the magnification? (b) Where is the image? (c) Find the radius of curvature of the convex mirror formed by the cornea. (Note that this technique is used by optometrists to measure the curvature of the cornea for contact lens fitting. The instrument used is called a keratometer, or curve measurer.)arrow_forward
- An object of height 2.9 cm is placed at 22 cm in front of a diverging lens of focal length, f = -17 cm. Behind the diverging lens, there is a converging lens of focal length, f = 17 cm. The distance between the lenses is 3 cm. In the next few steps, you will find the location and size of the final image. Hint a. Where is the intermediate image formed by the first diverging lens? Image distance from first lens is di= cm. (Use the sign to indicate which side the image is on; positive sign means image is on the side of outgoing rays, and negative sign means image is on the side opposite to the outgoing rays.) b. Where is the final image formed by the second converging lens? Image distance from second lens is di₂ = cm. (Use the sign to indicate which side the image is on.) c. How large is the intermediate image formed by the first diverging lens? Intermediate image height is h₂ = cm. (Use the sign to indicate whether the image is upright (positive) or inverted (negative).) d. How large is…arrow_forwardThe radii of curvature of the surfaces of a thin meniscus convex lens are r1 =28.0 cm and r2 = 12.0 cm (see the figure to the right). The index of refraction is 1.60. Determine the focal length of the lens? Is the lens converging or diverging? Determine the image location and magnification of an object in the form of an arrow, 45.0 cm to the left of the lens. From these two quantities, determine the image characteristics (real or virtual, erect or inverted, enlarged or reduced)? Verify your results of part (b) by drawing a good ray diagram. A second converging lens with the same focal length is placed 45 cm to the right of the first. Determine the image location and total magnification (Mtotal = m1m2) of the final image.
