- Problem 5: Two converging lenses, one with a focal length of 22.0 cm and the other with a focal length of 10.0 cm, are placed 25.0 cm apart with an object placed 50.0 cm in front of the converging lens. Determine (a) the position and (b) the magnification of the final image formed. (c) Show by ray tracing that the image is virtual or real, and determine the image distance and magnification. You must draw the ray diagram to scale to you may also use drawing/drafting software to draw the diagram.arrow_forwardAn object of height 10.0 cm is placed 20.0 cm away from a converging lens. The image is 30.0 cm high. One can conclude that the focal length of the lens can be (A) 12.0 cm only. (B) either 12.0 cm or 60.0 cm. (C) 15.0 cm only. (D) either 15.0 cm or 30.0 cm.arrow_forward= A leaf of length his positioned d below. Leaf d 70.3 cm in front of a converging lens with a focal length of 34.0 cm. An observer views the image of the leaf from a position 1.26 m behind the lens, as shown in the figure 1.26 m (a) What is the magnitude of the lateral magnification (the ratio of image size to the object size) produced by the lens? (b) What angular magnification is achieved by viewing the image of the leaf rather than viewing the leaf directly?arrow_forward
- The owner of a van installs a rear-window lens that has a focal length of -0.310 m. When the owner looks out through the lens at an object located directly behind the van, the object appears to be 0.250 m from the back of the van, and appears to be 0.330 m tall. (a) How far from the van is the object actually located, and (b) how tall is the object?

Assume that the distance from your lens to the back of your eye is 2.0 cm, that your near point is 21 cm in front of your lens, and that the liquid behind the lens has n=1.00 just like the air in front of your lens.

Use ray tracing to determine the height of its image in cm. Is the image upright or inverted? Real or virtual?arrow_forwardAn object is placed 21.2 cm in front of a diverging lens which has a focal length with a magnitude of 13.0 cm. How far in front of the lens should the object be placed in order to produce an image that is reduced by a factor of 3.15?arrow_forwardA system of two lenses forms an image of an arrow at x = x3 = 57.4 cm. The first lens is a diverging lens located at x = 0 and has a focal length of magnitude f₁ = 11.5 cm. The second lens is located at x = x₂ = 25.4 cm and has an unknown focal length. The tip of the object arrow is located at (x,y) = (xo, Yo) = (-36 cm, 20.6 cm).
