- A = (s, y) 1. Derive the equation for the mirror surface such that light incident on the left, from a source at infinity, will be focused at F. The equation should be written only in terms of s, y and f (the curve will map out points like A with coordinates s and y). You do not need to simplify the equation.

The object is located 25.0 cm from the lens. The image is located 15.0 cm from the lens. Determine the image height (in cm). Enter the numerical part of your answer to two significant figures. Hint: Remember that the sign of the image height is significant.arrow_forward
- Thin lenses. Object O stands on the central axis of a thin symmetric lens. For this situation, each problem in the table (below) gives object distance p (centimeters), the type of lens (C stands for converging and D for diverging), and then the distance (centimeters, without proper sign) betweena focal point and the lens. Find (a) the image distance i and (b) the lateral magnification m of the object, including signs. Also, determine whether the image is (c) real or virtual, (d) inverted from object O or noninverted, and (e) on the same side of the lens as object O or on the opposite side.

Answer 4 only pleasearrow_forwardA converging lens with a focal length of 40 cm and a diverging lens with a focal length of −36 cm are 156 cm apart. A 3.3-cm-tall object is 60 cm in front of the converging lens. a. Calculate the image height. hi=arrow_forwardAn 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_forward
