Question
When do (object distance) is very large, what does the thin lens equation predict for the value of 1/f?Similarly, when do (object distance) is very small and less, what does the thin lens equation predict for the value of 1/f?
Please explain your answer properly, especially for the first question. Thank you

Introduction:
A lens is a portion of a transparent medium bounded by two spherical surfaces or one spherical surface and one plane surface.
Explanation:
Thin lens equation is given by,
1v+1u=1f→(1)Where,
So when object distance is very large (i.e.,) then the above equation boils down to,
So the thin lens equation predict value of

- Thank you so much in advance. The diagram shows a lens with a positive focal length 11 cm. (a) If we place an object at a distance of 25 cm from the lens, where will the resulting image position on the other side of the lens be found? Include units in answer, (b) With the object at 25 cm from the lens, what will the magnification be for the image at this position? (c) If we place an object at a distance of 4 cm from the lens, where will the resulting image position be found? (d) With the object at 4 cm from the lens, what will the magnification be for the image at this position?arrow_forwardPlease, write all the steps.arrow_forwardA lens of focal length 42 mm is used as a magnifier. The object being viewed is 6.8 mm long, and is positioned at the focal point of the lens. The lens is moved closer to the object, so that the image is now 15 cm from the lens. The distance the lens has been moved, in cm, is closest to:arrow_forward
