A2.0-cm-tall object is15cm in front of a diverging lens that has a20cm 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.
b Calculate the image position and height. Compare with your ray-tracing answers in parta.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part a

aThe image distance is s'=-8.6cmand image height is h'=1.1cm.

Part b

bThe image distance is s'=-8.6cmand image height is h'=1.1cm.

Both part agrees the condition.

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 ish=2.0cm.

The lens is diverging.

The distance lens object is s=15cm.

The focal length isf=-20cm.

02

Step: 2 Finding image distance: (part a)  

From lens equation is

1s+1s′=1f1s′=1f−1s1s′=s−fsfs′=sfs−fs′=(15cm)×(−20cm)15cm−(−20cm)s′=−8.6cm.

The ray trace diagram is

Step: 3 Finding image height: (part b) 

The lateral magnification lens by

M=−s′sM=−−8.6cm15cmM=−47.|M|=h′hh′=h|M|h′=(2.0cm)×47h′=1.1cm.

By comparing, the both parts are agree.
