Suppose a 200-mm focal length telephoto lens is being used to photograph mountains 12.5 km away.
(a) What is image distance, in meters, for this lens?
(b) What is the image height, in centimeters, of a 1050-m high cliff on one of the mountains?
When do (object distance) is very large, what does the thin lens equation predict for the value of 1/f? In other words, when the object distance is very large, what happens to 1/f, and how does the thin lens equation play an important role in this? Please answer this question in a few paragraphs. Thank You!. I am very confused and stuck on this question so I need a full step by step explanation.
A lens and object are placed such that there is a magnification of 1/3. What kind of lens is it? type in 'converging' or 'diverging'
