- A converging lens (f₁ = 24.0 cm) is located 56.0 cm to the left of a diverging lens (f2 = -28.0 cm). An object is placed to the left of the converging lens, and the final image produced by the two-lens combination lies 20.9 cm to the left of the diverging lens. How far is the object from the converging lens? do1 = iarrow_forwardPart A: State the characteristics of the image formed by a converging lens when the object is distance is less than the focal length of the lens. An object (2.0 mm high) is place at a distance of 30 cm in front of a diverging lens of focal length 20 cm. Calculate the image distance of the image produced by the lens and verify all the characteristics listed in question (2).arrow_forwardTwo thin lenses with focal lengths of magnitude 15.0 cm, the first diverging and the second converging, are placed 12.00 cm apart. An object 3.00 mm tall is placed 5.50 cm to the left of the first (diverging) lens. Where is the image formed by the first lens located? Please provide a detailed explanation of the process. How far from the object is the final image formed? Please describe the steps taken to reach to your conclusion.arrow_forward
- A converging lens is placed 36.0 cm to the right of a diverging lens of focal length 7.0 cm. A beam of parallel light enters the diverging lens from the left, and the beam is again parallel when it emerges from the converging lens. Calculate the focal length of the converging lens. f = _____ cmarrow_forwardAn 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 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_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) between a 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.

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?

A diverging lens of focal length 4.20 cm is placed 10.0 cm to the right of the converging lens.

- A 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_forwardLeah and Arif now do a practice problem.Suppose you are in a partially darkened room holding a flat piece of white cardboard in one hand and a converging lens of focal distance 3.7 10-2 m in your other hand. You want to form an image of the window in front of you, which is at a distance of 2.34 m in front of the lens.How far behind the lens should the cardboard be held to form as sharp an image as possible? mIf the height of the window is 1.00 m, find the height of its image. marrow_forward
