Chapter 23 Problem 23.45

Question

A 105-mm-focal-length lens is used to focus an image on the sensor of a camera. The maximum distance allowed between the lens and the sensor plane is 132 mm. (a) How far in front of the sensor should the lens (assumed thin) be positioned if the object to be photographed is 10.0 m away? (b) 3.0 m away? (c) 1.0 m away? (d) What is the closest object this lens could photograph sharply?

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 23 problem number 45 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A 105-mm-focal-length lens is used to focus an image on the sensor of a camera. The maximum distance allowed between the lens and the sensor plane is 132 mm. (a) How far in front of the sensor should the lens (assumed thin) be positioned if the object to be photographed is 10.0 m away? (b) 3.0 m away? (c) 1.0 m away? (d) What is the closest object this lens could photograph sharply?
From the textbook chapter Light: Geometric Optics you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
