Chapter 26 Problem 118

Question

To focus a camera on objects at diff erent distances, the converging lens is moved toward or away from the image sensor, so a sharp image always falls on the sensor. A camera with a telephoto lens (f 5 200.0 mm) is to be focused on an object located fi rst at a distance of 3.5 m and then at 50.0 m. Over what distance must the lens be movable?

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 26 problem number 118 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: To focus a camera on objects at diff erent distances, the converging lens is moved toward or away from the image sensor, so a sharp image always falls on the sensor. A camera with a telephoto lens (f 5 200.0 mm) is to be focused on an object located fi rst at a distance of 3.5 m and then at 50.0 m. Over what distance must the lens be movable?
From the textbook chapter The Refraction of Light: Lenses and Optical Instruments you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
