Question
Problem 67GP
A 1.0-cm-tall object is 7.5 cm in front of a diverging lens that has a 10 cm focal length. 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.
Solution
