Chapter 9, Problem 42Q
(Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation
typically involve integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.)
. A convex lens forms a clear, focused image of some small, fixed object on a screen. If the screen is moved closer to the lens, will the lens have to he (a) moved closer to the object, (b) moved farther from the object, or (c) left at the same location to produce a clear image on the screen at its new location? Explain your answer.

A candle with Sem height is placed in front of a diverging lens. The object is 15 cm in front of the lens and the focal point of the
lens is 15 cm.
What is the size of the image in cm?
Three lenses are placed in a row, separated by 12 cm. The first lens is a diverging lens with focal length 12 cm. The second is a converging lens with focal length 10 cm. The last is another diverging lens with focal length 8 cm. If an object is placed 24 cm to the left of the first lens, wehre will the final image occur? Will it be real or virtual?
A convergent lens of focal length 19 cm gives a real image that is 3.1 times larger than the object. Calculate the distance between the object and the lens, in centimeters.
