Your supervisor hands you a diverging lens and asks you to measure its focal length. You know that with a converging lens, you can measure the focal length by placing an object a distance ss to the left of the lens, far enough from the lens for the image to be real, and viewing the image on a screen that is to the right of the lens. By adjusting the position of the screen until the image is in sharp focus, you can determine the image distance s′s′ and then use the equation 1s+1s′=1f1s+1s′=1f, to calculate the focal length ff of the lens. But this procedure won't work with a diverging lens−−by itself, a diverging lens produces only virtual images, which can't be projected onto a screen. Therefore, to determine the focal length of a diverging lens, you do the following: First you take a converging lens and measure that, for an object 20.0 cmcm to the left of the lens, the image is 29.7 cmcm to the right of the lens.…arrow_forward

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?

The object is 30 cm from the lens, which has a focal length of 15 cm. If the object is moved to a position 22 cm away, what will the image position be? (A positive value for p, or position, means the image is on the right side of the lens.)arrow_forward
