Question

(a) First, focus on the converging lens, which can produce more types of images than the diverging lens.

Choose all the correct statements about the converging lens from the list below:

The converging lens can produce real images that are larger than, smaller than, or the same size as the object.

The converging lens can produce virtual images that are larger than, smaller than, or the same size as the object

If you move the object toward the converging lens, the image always gets larger

If you double the height of the object, the image height also doubles

All rays of light that leave the tip of the object and go through the lens pass through the tip of the image (or can be extended back to do so)

Only the three special rays (in red, blue, and green) that leave the tip of the object and go through the lens pass through the tip of the image (or can be extended back to do so)

The object height can only be positive

The magnification (the ratio of image height to object height) for the converging lens can only be a negative value

There is only one way to create an image that is two times larger than the object itself

Let's say that the lens in the simulation is made from glass (n = 1.50) and is surrounded by air (n = 1.00). If the glass lens was immersed in water (n = 1.33) instead, the focal points would be farther from the lens than they are when the lens is in air

(b) Now, consider these general statements, regarding the two different kinds of lenses. Again, select all that apply.

The converging lens only produces real images while the diverging lens only produces virtual images

If the image is virtual, moving the object closer to the lens always causes the image to move closer to the lens

With a diverging lens, the image height can be increased by (i) increasing the object height, (ii) moving the object closer to the lens, or (iii) increasing the magnitude of the focal length

Keeping the object unchanged, switching from the converging lens to the diverging lens will not change the red ray

The diverging lens always produces an image smaller than the object, and the converging lens always produces an image larger than the object

If you double the height of the object, the image height also doubles

All rays of light that leave the tip of the object and go through the lens pass through the tip of the image (or can be extended back to do so)

Let's say that the lens in the simulation is made from glass (n = 1.50) and is surrounded by air (n = 1.00). If the glass lens was immersed in a liquid with an index of refraction of 1.75 instead, what we're calling a converging lens in the simulation would actually act as a diverging lens, and vice versa.

PLEASE HELP I KEEP GETTING THIS WRONG AND I'M SO FRUSTRATED!! :( AND PLEASE DON'T SAY THAT THIS IS TOO MANY QUESTIONS!!! It is a single, two-part question that completely fits with Chegg policies. PLEASE ANSWER BOTH PARTS.

Explanation / Answer

Prob a)

The converging lens can produce real images that are larger than, smaller than, or the same size as the object.

If you move the object toward the converging lens, the image always gets larger

All rays of light that leave the tip of the object and go through the lens pass through the tip of the image (or can be extended back to do so)

Let's say that the lens in the simulation is made from glass (n = 1.50) and is surrounded by air (n = 1.00). If the glass lens was immersed in water (n = 1.33) instead, the focal points would be farther from the lens than they are when the lens is in air

Prob b)

The converging lens only produces real images while the diverging lens only produces virtual images

The diverging lens always produces an image smaller than the object, and the converging lens always produces an image larger than the object

If you double the height of the object, the image height also doubles
