A 2.0-cm-tall candle flame is 2.0m from a wall. You happen to have a lens with a focal length of 32cm. How many places can you put the lens to form a well-focused image of the candle flame on the wall? For each location, what are the height and orientation of the image?

Short Answer

Expert verified

We can place them in two distances 160cm,40cm.

For distance 160cm, the height will be 0.5cmand the image will form inverted.

For distance40cm, the height will be8cmand the image will form inverted.

Step by step solution

01

Given information 

We have given,

Height of the candle =2cm

Distance from wall = 2m

Focal length =32cm

We have to find the position of image and height at that place of the image.

02

Simplify

The lens equation is given as,

1f=1v-1u

We have to obtain the image at the wall then,

then, v=2m-u

put this value in above equation then we will find that,

1f=12-u-1u10.32m=12-u-1-uu+2+uu(2+u)=10.32u2-(2m)u+(0.64m2)=0u=160cm,40cm

03

Simplify

For distance160cmof the candle from the lens , the distance of the image will be ,

v=2m-1.6m=0.4m

Then magnification of the lens will be ,

m=-vu=h'h-0.41.6=h'0.02h'=-0.5cm

Here minus sign indicated the inverted image is formed.

For distance 40cmof the candle from the lens, the distance of the image will be,

v=2m-0.4m=1.6m

Then magnification of the lens will be ,

m=-vu=h'h-1.60.4=h'0.02h'=-8cm

Here minus sign indicated the inverted image is formed.

A 25 g rubber ball is dropped from a height of 3.0 m above the center of a horizontal, concave mirror. The ball and its image coincide 0.65 s after the ball is released. What is the mirror’s radius of curvature?

An old-fashioned slide projector needs to create a 98-cm-high image of a 2.0-cm-tall slide. The screen is 300 cm from the slide.

a. What focal length does the lens need? Assume that it is a thin lens.

b. How far should you place the lens from the slide?

An object is 15cmin front of a diverging lens with a focal length of −15cm. Use ray tracing to determine the location of the image. Is the image upright or inverted?

3. One problem with using optical fibers for communication is that a light ray passing directly down the center of the fiber takes less time to travel from one end to the other than a ray taking a longer, zig-zag path. Thus light rays starting at the same time but traveling in slightly different directions reach the end of the fiber at different times. This problem can be solved by making the refractive index of the glass change gradually from a higher value in the center to a lower value near the edges of the fiber. Explain how this reduces the difference in travel times.
