Explanation of Solution

Given info: The focal length of the lens is $14.0\text{cm}$. The object is square $abcd$ of height $10.0\text{cm}$ and the positioned between $20\text{cm}$ and $30.0\text{cm}$.

Formula to calculate the image of any object in a thin lens is,

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{q}+\frac{1}{p}$ (1)

Here,

$f$ is the focal length of the lens.

$p$ is the object position.

$q$ is the image position.

Substitute $q_a$ for $q$, $p_a$ for $p$ in the equation (1),

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p_a}+\frac{1}{q_a}$ (2)

Here,

$p_a$ is the object distance corresponding to $ab$.

$q_a$ is the image distance corresponding to $ab$.

Substitute $30.0\text{cm}$ for $p_a$ and $14.0\text{cm}$ for $f$ in equation (2)

$\begin{array}{c}\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p_a}+\frac{1}{q_a}\\ \frac{1}{14.0\text{cm}}=\frac{1}{30.0\text{cm}}+\frac{1}{q_a}\\ q_a=26.3\text{cm}\end{array}$

Substitute $p_d$ for $p$ and $q_d$ for $q$ in the equation (1),

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{q_d}+\frac{1}{p_d}$ (3)

Here,

$q_d$ is the image distance corresponding to the $cd$.

$p_d$ is the object position corresponding to $cd$.

Substitute, $20.0\text{cm}$ for $p_d$ and $14.0\text{cm}$ for $f$ in equation (3),

$\begin{array}{c}\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{q_d}+\frac{1}{p_d}\\ \frac{1}{14.0\text{cm}}=\frac{1}{q_d}+\frac{1}{20.0\text{cm}}\\ p_d=46.7\text{cm}\end{array}$

Formula to calculate the height of the corresponding image point $ab$

${h^{\prime }}_b=h_b\left(\frac{-q_a}{p_a}\right)$ (4)

Here,

$h_b{}^{\prime }$ is to the height of image corresponding to $ab$

$h_b$ is the height of the object corresponding to $ab$.

Substitute $10.0\text{cm}$ for $h_b$, $26.3\text{cm}$ for $q_a$ and $30.0\text{cm}$ in equation (4).

$\begin{array}{c}{h^{\prime }}_b=h_b\left(\frac{-q_a}{p_a}\right)\\ {h^{\prime }}_b=10.0\text{cm}\left(\frac{-26.3\text{cm}}{30.0\text{cm}}\right)\\ {h^{\prime }}_b=-8.75\text{cm}\end{array}$

 For calculating the image height corresponding to $cd$,

${h^{\prime }}_c=h_c\left(\frac{-q_d}{p_d}\right)$ (5)

Substitute $10.0\text{cm}$ for $h_d$, $46.7\text{cm}$ for $q_a$ and $20.0\text{cm}$ in equation (5).

$\begin{array}{c}{h^{\prime }}_c=h_c\left(\frac{-q_d}{p_d}\right)\\ {h^{\prime }}_c=10.0\text{cm}\left(\frac{-46.7\text{cm}}{20.0\text{cm}}\right)\\ {h^{\prime }}_c=-23.3\text{cm}\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Therefore, the values of $q_a$, $q_d$ ${h^{\prime }}_b$ and ${h^{\prime }}_c$ is $26.3\text{cm}$, $46.7\text{cm}$, $8.75\text{cm}$ and $23.3\text{cm}$ respectively.

To determine

To show: The relation, $\left|h^{\prime }\right|=10q\left(\frac{1}{14.0\text{cm}}-\frac{1}{q}\right)$.

Answer to Problem 36.50P

The relation between height of the image and the image distance is $\left|h^{\prime }\right|=10q\left(\frac{1}{14.0\text{cm}}-\frac{1}{q}\right)$.

Explanation of Solution

the focal length of the given lens is $14.0\text{cm}$. The formula to calculate the magnification is

$-\frac{h^{\prime }}{h}=\frac{q}{p}$ (6)

Here,

$h^{\prime }$ is the image height.

$h$ is the object height.

$q$ is the image distance.

$p$ is the object distance.

From the lens,

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}$ (7)

Here,

$f$ is the focal length of the lens.

Substitute $14.0\text{cm}$ for $f$ in equation (7).

$\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}\\ \frac{1}{14.0\text{cm}}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}\\ \frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{14.0\text{cm}}-\frac{1}{q}\end{array}$ (8)

Substitute $\frac{1}{14.0\text{cm}}-\frac{1}{q}$ for $p$ and $10.0\text{cm}$ for $h$ in equation (6),

$\begin{array}{l}-\frac{h^{\prime }}{h}=\frac{q}{p}\\ -\frac{h^{\prime }}{h}=q\left(\frac{1}{p}\right)\\ h^{\prime }=-10\left(\frac{1}{14.0\text{cm}}-\frac{1}{q}\right)q\\ \left|h^{\prime }\right|=10q\left(\frac{1}{14.0\text{cm}}-\frac{1}{q}\right)\end{array}$ (9)

Conclusion:

Therefore the relation between height of the image and the image distance is $\left|h^{\prime }\right|=10q\left(\frac{1}{14.0\text{cm}}-\frac{1}{q}\right)$.

To determine

To write: The explanation that the geometric area of image is ${\displaystyle {\int }_{q_a}^{q_d}\left|h^{\prime }\right|dq}$

Answer to Problem 36.50P

The geometric area of a image is explained by the integral ${\displaystyle {\int }_{q_a}^{q_d}\left|h^{\prime }\right|dq}$.

Explanation of Solution

Given info: The geometric area of a image is,

$\text{Area}={\displaystyle {\int }_{q_a}^{q_d}\left|h^{\prime }\right|dq}$. (10)

Here,

$h^{\prime }$ is the height of the image.

$dq$ is the smaller region of image distance.

From equation (10) the integral sums up the small areas of region covered by the image itself. The height of the small regions is $h^{\prime }$ and the small portion of image distance is $dq$.

Therefore area of that small region is

$dA=h^{\prime }dq$

Therefore the integration from $q_a$  to $q_d$ of $dA$ will give the geometric area of the image.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the geometric area of the image is given by integral ${\displaystyle {\int }_{q_a}^{q_d}\left|h^{\prime }\right|dq}$.

To determine

The geometric area of the image.

Answer to Problem 36.50P

The geometric area is $328{\text{cm}}^2$.

Explanation of Solution

Given info: The geometric area of the image is given by the integral,

${\displaystyle {\int }_{q_a}^{q_d}\left|h^{\prime }\right|dq}$ . (11)

From equation (9) substitute $10q\left(\frac{1}{14.0\text{cm}}-\frac{1}{q}\right)$ for $h^{\prime }$ and $26.3\text{cm}$ for $q_a$, $46.7\text{cm}$ for $q_d$ in equation (11)

$\begin{array}{l}{\displaystyle {\int }_{q_a}^{q_d}\left|h^{\prime }\right|dq}\\ {\displaystyle \underset{26.3cm}{\overset{46.7\text{cm}}{\int }}10q\left(\frac{1}{14.0\text{cm}}-\frac{1}{q}\right)}dq\end{array}$

Integrate the above equation with respect to $dq$ to get the area ,

$\begin{array}{c}Area={\displaystyle \underset{26.3cm}{\overset{46.7\text{cm}}{\int }}10q\left(\frac{1}{14.0\text{cm}}-\frac{1}{q}\right)}dq\\ =10.0\text{cm}{\left[\frac{q^2}{28.0\text{cm}}-q\right]}_{26.3\text{cm}}^{46.7\text{cm}}\\ =10.0\text{cm}\left[\frac{\left[{\left(46.7\text{cm}\right)}^2-26.3{\text{cm}}^2\right]}{28.0\text{cm}}-46.7\text{cm+26}\text{.3}\text{cm}\right]\\ =328{\text{cm}}^2\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Therefore, the geometric area of the image is $328{\text{cm}}^2$ .
