A lens is made of glass having an index of refraction of 1.5. One side of the lens is flat, and the other is convex with a radius of curvature of 20 cm(a) Find the focal length of the lens. (b) If an object is placed 40 cmin front of the lens, where is the image?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The focal length of the lens is +40cm.
  2. If an object is placed 40 cm in front of the lens, then the image will be at ∞.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

n=1.5r1=∞r2=-20cmp=40cm

02

Understanding the concepts of lens maker equation

Using lens maker’s equation, we can find the focal length for the given lens. We can find the image distance by using the equation for the thin lens.

Formula:

1f=(n-1)(1r1-1r2)1f=1i+1p

03

Calculations of the focal length of the lens

(a) The lens maker’s equation is given by

1f=(n-1)(1r1-1r2)1f=(1.5-1)(1∞-1-20)1f=0.5×0.05f=10.025

=+40cm

04

Calculations of the image distance 

(b)

We have, for thin lens,

1f=1i+1p

Rearranging the terms,

i=11f-1p=1140-140=10=∞

If an object is placed 40 cm in front of the lens, then the image will be at∞.

A moth at about eye level is10 cmin front of a plane mirror; a man is behind the moth,30 cmfrom the mirror. What is the distance between man’s eyes and the apparent position of the moth’s image in the mirror?

A narrow beam of parallel light rays is incident on a glass sphere from the left, directed toward the center of the sphere. (The sphere is a lens but certainly not a thin lens.) Approximate the angle of incidence of the rays as 0°, and assume that the index of refraction of the glass is n<2.0(a) In terms of n and the sphere radius r, what is the distance between the image produced by the sphere and the right side of the sphere? (b) Is the image to the left or right of that side? (Hint: Apply Eq. 34-8 to locate the image that is produced by refraction at the left side of the sphere; then use that image as the object for refraction at the right side of the sphere to locate the final image. In the second refraction, is the object distance positive or negative?)
