Chapter 34 Problem 34.75

Question

A 2.0-cm-tall object is 15 cm in front of a converging lens that has a 20 cm focal length. a. 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. b. Calculate the image position and height. Compare with your ray-tracing answers in part a

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 34 problem number 75 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A 2.0-cm-tall object is 15 cm in front of a converging lens that has a 20 cm focal length. a. 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. b. Calculate the image position and height. Compare with your ray-tracing answers in part a
From the textbook chapter Ray Optics you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
