A thin converging lens of focal length 20cm is located at the origin and its axis lies on the x axis. A point source of red light is placed at location <-25,1,0>cm. Where is the location of the image of the source? Is it a real or a virtual image? It helps to draw a diagram and trace the 鈥渆asy鈥 rays.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The final position is 100,-4.0,0cm. It is a real image.

Step by step solution

01

Explain the given information

Consider that the focal length of a thin converging lens is 20cm is placed at the origin and its axis lies on the x axis. A point source of red light is placed at location -25,1,0cm .

02

Give the Formula used.

Give the formula for magnification in terms of height and distance.

M=h2h1 鈥︹赌(1)

M=d2d1 鈥︹赌(2)

Give the lens equation.

M=d2d1 鈥︹赌(3)

03

Where is the location of the image of the source? Is it a real or a virtual image?

Consider that the converging lens is at origin and the axis lies on the x axis. The point source of red light is placed at the location x,y,0. The x coordinate represents the object distance and the y coordinate represents the height of the object.

In Equation (3) ,substitute f=20cm and d1=25cm as follows,

120cm=125cm+1d2

Solve the above equation for d2 as follows,

d2=120cm-125cmd2=100cm

Since the image distance is positive, the image is real.

The magnification formula is,

-d2d1=h2h1

Solve the above equation for h2 as follows,

h2=-100cm25cm1cmh2=-4cm

The negative sign indicates that the image is inverted. Since h2>h1, the image is larger than the object.

Therefore, the final position is 100,-4.0,0cm.
