A 1.0-cm-tall object is 60cmin front of a diverging lens that has a30cm focal length.
a Use ray tracing to find the position and height of the image. To do this accurately, use a ruler or paper with a grid. Determine the image distance and image height by making measurements on your diagram.
bCalculate the image position and height. Compare with your ray-tracing answers in part a.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part a

aThe image distance is s'=-20cmand image height is h'=0.33cm.

Part b

bThe image distance is s'=-20cmand image height is h'=0.33cm.

The both parts agrees.

Step by step solution

01

Step: 1 Finding lateral magnification:   

From thin lens equation,

1s+1s′=1f

The convex lens of focal lens is positive and concave lens is negative:the image virutal is negative and real image distance is positive.

The lateral magnification is

|M|=image heightobject height=h′hM=−s′s

The object height is h=1.0cm.

The lens is diverging.

The distance lens object is s=60cm.

The focal length isf=-30cm.

02

Step: 2 Finding image distance: (part a)  

From lens equation is

1s+1s′=1f1s′=1f−1s1s′=s−fsfs′=sfs−fs′=(60cm)×(−30cm)60cm−(−30cm)s′=−20cm.

The ray trace diagram is

03

Step: 3 Finding image height: (part b) 

The lateral magnification lens by

M=s'sM=−−20cm60cmM=−23.|M|=h′hh′=h|M|h′=(1.0cm)×23h'=0.33cm.

By comparing, the both parts are agree.

An advanced computer sends information to its various parts via infrared light pulses traveling through silicon fibers. To acquire data from memory, the central processing unit sends a light-pulse request to the memory unit. The memory unit processes the request, then sends a data pulse back to the central processing unit. The memory unit takes 0.5ns to process a request. If the information has to be obtained from memory in 2.0ns, what is the maximum distance the memory unit can be from the central processing unit?
