Question
A converging lens has a focal length of 46.0 cm. Locate the images for the following object distances, if they exist.
Find the magnification. (Enter 0 in the q and M fields if no image exists.)
(a) 46.0 cm
q = _______cm
M = ________
Select all that apply to part (a). real virtual upright inverted no image
(b) 9.20 cm
q = _______cm
M =________
Select all that apply to part (b). real virtual upright inverted no image
(c) 276 cm
q = ________cm
M = _________
Select all that apply to part (c). real virtual upright inverted no image
Explanation / Answer
f = 46 cm
a) object distance, u = 46 cm
let v is the image distance.
apply, 1/u + 1/v = 1/f
1/v = 1/f - 1/u
1/v = 1/46 - 1/46
v = infinite. so image is formed at inifinte distance.
so, v = 0
M = 0
b) object distance, u = 9.2 cm
let v is the image distance.
apply, 1/u + 1/v = 1/f
1/v = 1/f - 1/u
1/v = 1/46 - 1/9.2
v = -11.5 cm
M = -v/u = -(-11.5)/9.2 = 1.25
c) object distance, u = 276 cm
let v is the image distance.
apply, 1/u + 1/v = 1/f
1/v = 1/f - 1/u
1/v = 1/46 - 1/276
v = 55.2 cm
M = -v/u = -55.2/276 = -0.2
