For each of the following items, fill in the number of the appropriate Key Term from the preceding list.
a. _____ Lens thicker at the center than at the edge
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To pick the right word from list: Lens thicker at the centre than at the edge.
Answer to Problem AM
The lens thicker at the centre than at the edge is convex lens.
Explanation of Solution
There are two types of lenses. These are convex lens and concave lens. The lens that is thicker at the centre than at the edge is convex lens whereas the lens that is thinner at the centre and thicker at the edges is concave lens.
Conclusion:
The convex lens is thicker at the centre and is thinner at the edges.

2. A sight testing chart measuring 120 cm x 80 cm, the long dimension being the vertical one is to be viewed by reflection in a plane mirror. Find the smallest size of the mirror that can be used if the chart is 3.25 meters away from the mirror and the observer’s eye is 2.75 meters away from the mirror. The lower edge of the chart is 1.5 meters above the ground. How high must the edge of the mirror from the ground?
An archaeologist is examining artifacts with a diverging lens. The lens has a focal length of magnitude 23.8 cm. The lens is always held between the archaeologist's eye and the object under study. However, the distance between the lens and the object is different for each object that the archaeologist observes.
Determine the image location and magnification for each of the following three objects. In addition, determine whether the image is real or virtual, whether it is upright or inverted, and whether it makes the object appear larger or smaller than actual size.
