When a camera is focused, the lens is moved away from or toward the digital image sensor. If you take a picture of your friend, who is standing 3.90 m from the lens, using a camera with a lens with an 85-mm focal length, how far from the sensor is the lens? Will the whole image of your friend, who is 175 cm tall, fit on a sensor that is 24 mm * 36 mm?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) the sensor is +8.69 cm from the lens.

b) the image formed is 39 mm in size which will not fit on a screen of 36 mm size.

Step by step solution

01

Basic Concepts

An optical lens is a transparent transmissive optical component that is used to either converge or diverge the light emitting from a object. These transmitted light forms an image of that object.

Thin Lens formula:

1u+1v=1f

Here,

u = Object distance from lens

v = Image distance from lens

f = Focal length of the lens

Sign Convention:

  1. Object Distance (u): (+) in front of lens; (-) in the back of lens
  2. Image Distance (v): (-) in front of lens; (+) in the back of lens
  3. Focal Length (f): (+) for convergent (convex) lens; (-) for divergent (concave) lens

Lateral magnification (m): It is defined as the ratio of the height of image to the height of the object viewed through a lens. It is a dimensionless quantity.

m=-vu=HiH0

Here,

Ho = Height of the object, and Hi = Height of the image

Sign Convention:

  1. If m is positive 鈥 Image is erected
  2. If m is negative 鈥 Image is inverted
02

Distance of Image

Focal length of 1st lens, f1 = +8.5 cm

Object distance, u = +390 cm

By using lens formula

1u+1v=1f1+390+1v=1+8.51v=18.5-13901v=390-8.5390*8.5v=+8.69cm

Therefore, the sensor is +8.69 cm from the lens.

03

Check for Image on screen

Lateral magnification for a lens is given by

m=-vu=HiHo

Thus, height of the image is given by

Hi=-vuHo=+8.69cm+390cm*175cm=-3.9cm

Therefore, the image formed is 39 mm in size which will not fit on a screen of 36 mm size.

Most popular questions from this chapter

You can鈥檛 see clearly underwater with the naked eye, but you can if you wear a face mask or goggles (with air between your eyes and the mask or goggles). Why is there a difference? Could you instead wear eyeglasses (with water between your eyes and the eyeglasses) in order to see underwater? If so, should the lenses be converging or diverging? Explain.

Monochromatic light with wavelength 490 nm passes through a circular aperture, and a diffraction pattern is observed on a screen that is 1.20 m from the aperture. If the distance on the screen between the first and second dark rings is 1.65 mm, what is the diameter of the aperture?

Red light of wavelength 633 nm from a helium-neon laser passes through a slit 0.350 mm wide. The diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 3.00 m away. Define the width of a bright fringe as the distance between the minima on either side.

(a) What is the width of the central bright fringe?

(b) What is the width of the first bright fringe on either side of the central one?

The laws of optics also apply to electromagnetic waves invisible to the eye. A satellite TV dish is used to detect radio waves coming from orbiting satellites. Why is a curved reflecting surface (a 鈥渄ish鈥) used? The dish is always concave, never convex; why? The actual radio receiver is placed on an arm and suspended in front of the dish. How far in front of the dish should it be placed?

Explain why the focal length of a plane mirror is infinite, and explain what it means for the focal point to be at infinity.
