An insect 3.75 mm tall is placed 22.5 cm to the left of a thin planoconvex lens. The left surface of this lens is flat, the right surface has a radius of curvature of magnitude 13.0 cm, and the index of refraction of the lens material is 1.70.

(a) Calculate the location and size of the image this lens forms of the insect. Is it real or virtual? Erect or inverted?

(b) Repeat part (a) if the lens is reversed.

Step by step solution

Solving part (a) of the problem.

  1. The image size is 17.72 mm, The image is real, The image is inverted
  2. The image is the same as part a with no difference at all

Solving part (a) of the problem.

Lensmaker's equation for a thin lens:

1f=n-11R1-1R2

f=The focal length of the lens, n = Index of refraction of lens material,R1= radius of curvature of the first surface, R2For the second surface.

Note: the two radii of curvature follow the signature rules.

R1,R2, is (+) when the radius in the back,(-) in front (the side of incident rays) f is (+) the lens is convergent, (-) the lens is divergent.

Sign rule for the radius of curvature of a surface of curvature (R): When the center of curvature C is on the same side as the outgoing light (the refracted light), the radius of curvature is positive, otherwise, it is negative

The lensmaker's equation gives us the unique focal length of each lens by using the index of refraction of the material and the two radii of curvature of the surfaces of the lens. There are two types of lenses diverging lens and a converging lens. Diverging lens causes the parallel incident rays to diverge while the converging lens causes the opposite.

Apply: in most problems, we use the lens maker equation to get the focal length of a lens. After that, we are asked to get the image or object position by using the equation for the thin lens.

Object -image relationship for ((thin lens))

1s+1s'=1f

s=object distance from the lens, s'=The image distance from the lens, f=The focal length of the lens.

s is (+) in front of the lens, (-) in the back of the lens, s' is (+) in the back of the lens, (-) in front of the lens, f is (+) the lens is convergent, (-) the lens is divergent.

The sign rules for the variables in the equation:

  1. Sign rule for the object distance (s): when the object is on the same side of the refracting surface as the incoming light, object distance s is positive; otherwise, it is negative
    1. Sign rule for the image distance (s dash): When the image is on the same side of the refracting surface as the outgoing light (the refracted light), the image distance is positive; otherwise, it is negative.

    Note: the focal length depends on the curvature of the surfaces which forms the lens and depend on the material of the lens.

    Apply: in most problems, we are asked to get the position of the image forming from the refracted rays through a certain lens by using the focal length of the lens and the position of the object. In other problems, we are given the position of the object and the image to get the focal length of a lens.

    Lateral magnification for a thin lens:

m=-s's=yy

m=The magnification, s=object distance, s'=The image distance, y'=The height of the image, y=The height of the object. m is (+) when the image is erect and(-) when the image is inverted.

1=The flat surface, 2=the curved surface , R1=∞, R2==-13 cm -- is negative as it is plano-convex and the radius is in the front of the lens(in the direction of incident rays)

1f=n-11R1-1R21f=1.7-11∞-1-13cm=7130cm,f=1307cm=18.57cm

1s+1s'+1f'1s'+1f+1s=s-ffss'=fss-f=18.57cm22.5cm22.5cm-18.57cm=106.317cm

s=106.317 cm to the right of the lens (the back of the lens)

m=-s's=-106.317cm22.5cm=-4.725=y'yy'=-4.725×3.75mm=-17.72mm=-1.772cm

The image size is 17.72 mm, The image is real, The image is inverted

Solving part (b) of the problem.

The lens is reversed so the radius signs will reverse

1=the curved surface, 2=The flat surface, , R2=∞,R1=+13cm

s' = 106.317 cm to the right of the lens (the back of the lens)

An underwater camera has a lens with focal length in air of 35.0 mm and a maximum aperture of f/2.80. The film it uses has an emulsion that is sensitive to light of frequency6.00×1014Hz.If the photographer takes a picture of an object 2.75 m in front of the camera with the lens wide open, what is the width of the smallest resolvable detail on the subject if the object is (a) a fish underwater with the camera in the water and (b) a person on the beach with the camera out of the water?

A thin lens with a focal length of 6.00 cm is used as a simple magnifier. (a) What angular magnification is obtainable with the lens if the object is at the focal point? (b) When an object is examined through the lens, how close can it be brought to the lens? Assume that the image viewed by the eye is at the near point, 25.0 cm from the eye, and that the lens is very close to the eye.

Coherent light that contains two wavelengths, 660nm (red) and 470nm (blue), passes through two narrow slits that are separated by 0.300mm. Their interference pattern is observed on a screen 4.00m from the slits. What is the distance on the screen between the first-order bright fringes for the two wavelengths?

When viewing a paper of art that is behind glass, one often is affected by the light that is reflected off the front of the glass (called glare), which can make it difficult to see the art clearly. One solution is to coat the outer surface of the glass with a film to cancel part of the glare. (a) If the glass has a refractive index 1.62 and you use TiO2, which has an index of refraction of 2.62 , as the coating, what is the minimum film thickness that will cancel light of wavelength 505nm? (b) If this coating is too thin to stand up to wear, what other thickness would also work? Find only the three thinnest ones.

A double-convex thin lens has surfaces with equal radii of curvature of magnitude 2.50cm . Using this lens, you observe that it forms an image of a very distant tree at a distance of 1.87cm from the lens. What is the index of refraction of the lens?
