Question
thumb_up100%
A blue whale eyeball may be taken as a sphere that is about 15 cm in diameter. Assuming that it is filled with material with an index of refraction of 1.5, where would the image form for an object (in water) that is very far away? Just consider the initial image formed by refraction through the front surface.
Select answer from the options below
15 cm behind the back of the eye
7.5 cm behind the front surface of the eye
15 cm behind the front surface of the eye
Approximately 30 cm behind the back of the eye
Approximately 50 cm behind the back of the eye

- An object (height = 5.0 cm) and its image are on opposite sides of a converging lens. The object is located 11.0 cm from the lens. The image is located 5.3 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_forwardA spherical concave lens has a focal length of 50 cm, and an object is placed 25 cm from the lens. Draw a digram. Estimate the image distance Is it real or virtual upright or inverted magnified or reducedarrow_forwardAn object is 60.0 cm from a converging lens and the object is 1.00 cm tall. What is the poisition and height of the image if the focal length of the lens is 25.0 cm? The object is at 0.0233 cm and the height of the image will be 0.715 cm upright. The object is at 0.0233 cm and the height of the image will be 0.000388 cm inverted. The object is at 42.9 cm and the height of the image will be 0.000388 cm upright. The object is at 42.9 cm and the height of the image will be 0.715 cm inverted.arrow_forward
- An object with a height of -0.040 m points below the principal axis (it is inverted) and is 0.140 m in front of a diverging lens. The focal length of the lens is -0.25 m. (Include the sign of the value in your answers.) (a) What is the magnification? (b) What is the image height? m (c) What is the image distance? marrow_forwardA 3 cm tall object is placed 16 cm from a converging lens with a focal length of 12 cm. A diverging lens with a focal length of 10 cm is placed 36 cm behind the converging lens. Both lenses have the same principal axis. Draw the ray diagram to graphically find the final image. Need only handwritten solution only (not typed one).arrow_forwardConsider a 2.5-cm tall candle positioned 7.5 cm in front of a concave spherical mirror with a radius of 30 cm. Determine and explain the characteristics of the resulting image. Please create a scaled ray diagram to aid in your explanation. Also, calculate the longitudinal magnification of the candle's image.arrow_forward
- A 2.1-cm-tall object is 30 cm to the left of a lens with a focal length of 15 cm. A second lens with a focal length of -5 cm is 45 cm to the right of the first lens. Calculate the distance between the first image and the second lens. Calculate the image height.arrow_forwardAn object is 21 cm in front of a diverging lens that has a focal length of -9.6 cm. How far in front of the lens should the object be placed so that the size of its image is reduced by a factor of 2.6?arrow_forwardAn object is placed in front of a diverging lens whose focal length is - 30.7 cm. A virtual image is formed whose height is 0.532 times the object height. How far is the object from the lens?arrow_forward
- A converging lens of focal length f=2 cm is used to focus the image of an object onto a screen. The object and screen are separated by 15 cm. The lens is placed between the object and the screen, at a distance from the screen such that the image of the object is focused into the screen. At what distance from the screen must the lens be placed in order to have an image magnification < 1? Provide your answer to two significant figures. distance = cm.arrow_forwardA 3.0 cm tall object is positioned 15.5 cm from a converging lens. The focal length of the lens is 10.5 cm. What is the distance to the image? What is the magnification of the image? What is the height of the image? Is the image real or virtual? Is the image inverted or upright?arrow_forwardA 1.0-cm-tall object is 70 cm in front of a converging lens that has a 30 cm focal length. Calculate the image position. Calculate the image height. Type a positive value if the image is upright and a negative value if it is inverted.arrow_forward
