A 3.0 cm-tall object stands in front of a converging lens. It is desired that a virtual image 2.7 times larger than the object be formed by the lens. How far from the lens (in cm) must the object be placed to accomplish this task, if the final image is located 14 cm from the lens?

How far from the lens (in cm) must the object be placed to accomplish this task, if the final image is located 13 cm from the lens? cm?arrow_forwardYou use a camera with a lens of focal length 50.0 mm to take a picture of a 2.50 m tall statue located 7.20 m away. If the image height on the film is 18.2 mm, what is the distance from the lens to the film?arrow_forwardThe focal length of a diverging lens is negative. If f = −30 cm for a particular diverging lens, where will the image be formed of an object located 36 cm to the left of the lens on the optical axis? cm to the left of the lensWhat is the magnification of the image?arrow_forward
- The focal length of a diverging lens is negative. If f = −16 cm for a particular diverging lens, where will the image be formed of an object located 45 cm to the left of the lens on the optical axis? cm to the left of the lensWhat is the magnification of the image?arrow_forwardAn object is initially at rest, 100 cm from a converging lens with a focal length of 30.0 cm. The object accelerates toward the lens at a constant rate of 0.300 cm/s?. At what time will the magnification of the image produced be -2.00?arrow_forwardA thin lens is comprised of two spherical surfaces with radii of curvatures of 32.4 cm for the front side and -26.9 cm for the back side. The material of which the lens is compose has an index of refraction of 1.49. What is the magnification of the image formed by an object placed 43.7cm from the lens?arrow_forward
- A 3 cm tall object is placed 2 cm to the left of a converging lens that has a focal length with a magnitude of 4 cm. A diverging lens with a focal length of magnitude 8 cm is placed 10 cm to the right of the first lens. What is the magnification of the final image produced by these two lenses? Make sure you say whether it is bigger/smaller and upright/inverted.arrow_forwardA 5.0-cm tall object stands in front of a converging lens. It is desired that the virtual image is 2.5 times larger than the object be formed by the lens. How far from the lens must the object be placed to accomplish this task, if the final image is located 15 cm from the lens?arrow_forward
