- An object is placed in front of a converging lens at an object distance of twice the focal length of the lens. Sketch a ray diagram and compare the image and object distances. Repeat with two more ray diagrams, using different focal lengths and still making the object distance twice the focal length. Can you draw any conclusions by comparing the object distance and the image distance?arrow_forwardSuppose a 200 mm-focal length telephoto lens is being used to photograph mountains 10.0 km away. (a) Where is the image? (b) What is the height of the image of a 1000 m high cliff on one of the mountains?arrow_forwardWhat are the differences between real and virtual images? How can you tell (by looking) whether an image formed by a single lens or mirror is real or virtual?arrow_forward
- 1.Place your object at a distance equal to the focal length (f) of your diverging lens. Where is your image located? Describe the type of image formed based on size, orientation, and condition and provide a screenshot of your set-up. 2.Place your object at a distance less than the focal length (f) of your diverging lens. Where is your image located? Describe the type of image formed based on size, orientation, and condition and provide a screenshot of your set-up.arrow_forwardA small candle is 35 cm from a concave mirror having a radius of curvature of 24 cm. (a) What is the focal length of the mirror? (b) Draw a ray diagram to find the general appearance of the image. (c) Use the mirror equation (above) to find: where will the image of the candle be located? (d) Is the image real or virtual? (e) Will the image be upright or inverted? (f) Do your calculated and drawing results agree? (they should!)arrow_forwardThe virtual image produced by a convex mirror is one-third thesize of the object. (a) If the object is 27 cm in front of the mirror, whatis the image distance? (b) What is the focal length of this mirror?arrow_forward
- A convex mirror has a radius of curvature r of 22 cm. If the object is located 14 cm in front of the mirror, (a) where is the image? (b) Characterize the image completely and draw the principal ray diagram.arrow_forwardFigure shows an object and its image formed by a thin lens. (a) What is the focal length of the lens, and what type of lens (converging or diverging) is it? (b) What is the height of the image? Is it real or virtual?arrow_forward
