Question
88. (a) An object 34.5 cm in front of a certain lens is imaged 8.20 cm in front of that lens (on the same side as the object). What type of lens is this, and what is its focal length? Is the image real or virtual? (b) If the image were located, instead, 41.5 cm in front of the lens, what type of lens would it be and what focal length would it have?
Solution
The first step in solving 23 problem number 88 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: 88. (a) An object 34.5 cm in front of a certain lens is imaged 8.20 cm in front of that lens (on the same side as the object). What type of lens is this, and what is its focal length? Is the image real or virtual? (b) If the image were located, instead, 41.5 cm in front of the lens, what type of lens would it be and what focal length would it have?
From the textbook chapter Light: Geometric Optics you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
