Chapter 34 Problem 50

Question

Thin lenses. Object 0 stands on the central axis of a thin symmetric lens. For this situation, each problem in Table 34-6 gives object distance p (centimeters), the type of lens (C stands for converging and D for diverging), and then the distance (centimeters, without proper sign) between a focal point and the lens. Find (a) the image distance i and (b) the lateral magnification m of the object, including signs. Also, determine whether the image is (c) real (R) or virtual (V), (d) inverted (I) from object 0 or noninverted (NI), and (e) on the same side of the lens as object 0 or on the opposite side.

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 34 problem number 50 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Thin lenses. Object 0 stands on the central axis of a thin symmetric lens. For this situation, each problem in Table 34-6 gives object distance p (centimeters), the type of lens (C stands for converging and D for diverging), and then the distance (centimeters, without proper sign) between a focal point and the lens. Find (a) the image distance i and (b) the lateral magnification m of the object, including signs. Also, determine whether the image is (c) real (R) or virtual (V), (d) inverted (I) from object 0 or noninverted (NI), and (e) on the same side of the lens as object 0 or on the opposite side.
From the textbook chapter IMAGES you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
