Chapter 25, Problem 8P
Your digital camera has a lens with a 50 mm focal length and a sensor array that measures 4.82 mm × 3.64 mm. Suppose you’re at the zoo and want to take a picture of a 4.50-m-tall giraffe. If you want the giraffe to exactly fit the longer dimension of your sensor array, how far away from the animal will you have to stand?

The widest cinema screen in the world was reportedly constructed in New Zealand in 2007. The screen is 30.6 meters (100 feet) wide. Images from a 35-mm wide film are projected onto this screen. Suppose that the screen in the theater is located a distance of 46 m from the projector. Determine the magnification of the image and the focal length of the lens system.
A double-convex thin lens is made of glass with an index of refraction of 1.56. The radii of curvature of the faces of the lens are 53 cm and 84 cm. What is the focal length of the lens? Give the answer in cm to one decimal place please.
You have two lenses at your disposal, one with a focal length f1 = 44.0 cm, the other with a focal length f2 = -44.0 cm.
If you want to produce an image of the bulb that is enlarged by a factor of 1.70, how far from the wall should the lens be placed?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.

- A converging lens made of crown glass has a focal length of 15.0 cm when used in air. If the lens is immersed in water, what is its focal length? (a) negative (b) less than 15.0 cm (c) equal to 15.0 cm (d) greater than 15.0 cm (e) none of those answersarrow_forwardWhy is the following situation impossible? Consider the lensmirror combination shown in Figure P35.55. The lens has a focal length of fL = 0.200 m, and the mirror has a focal length of fM = 0.500 m. The lens and mirror are placed a distance d = 1.30 m apart, and an object is placed at p = 0.300 m from the lens. By moving a screen to various positions to the left of the lens, a student finds two different positions of the screen that produce a sharp image of the object. One of these positions corresponds to light leaving the object and traveling to the left through the lens. The other position corresponds to light traveling to the right from the object, reflecting from the mirror and then passing through the lens.

Let a, b, c. and d represent the respective corners of the image. Let qa represent the image distance for points a and b, qd represent the image distance for points c and d, hb, represent the distance from point b to the axis, and hc represent the height of c. (a) Find qa, qd, hb, and hc. (b) Make a sketch of the image. (c) The area of the object is 100 cm2. By carrying out the following steps, you will evaluate the area of the image.
