A. 6.67 cm
The focal length of the lens can be found by using the lens equation:
[tex]\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{s'}[/tex]
where we have
f = focal length
s = 12 cm is the distance of the object from the lens
s' = 15 cm is the distance of the image from the lens
Solving the equation for f, we find
[tex]\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{12 cm}+\frac{1}{15 cm}=0.15 cm^{-1}\\f=\frac{1}{0.15 cm^{-1}}=6.67 cm[/tex]
B. Converging
According to sign convention for lenses, we have:
- Converging (convex) lenses have focal length with positive sign
- Diverging (concave) lenses have focal length with negative sign
In this case, the focal length of the lens is positive, so the lens is a converging lens.
C. -1.25
The magnification of the lens is given by
[tex]M=-\frac{s'}{s}[/tex]
where
s' = 15 cm is the distance of the image from the lens
s = 12 cm is the distance of the object from the lens
Substituting into the equation, we find
[tex]M=-\frac{15 cm}{12 cm}=-1.25[/tex]
D. Real and inverted
The magnification equation can be also rewritten as
[tex]M=\frac{y'}{y}[/tex]
where
y' is the size of the image
y is the size of the object
Re-arranging it, we have
[tex]y'=My[/tex]
Since in this case M is negative, it means that y' has opposite sign compared to y: this means that the image is inverted.
Also, the sign of s' tells us if the image is real of virtual. In fact:
- s' is positive: image is real
- s' is negative: image is virtual
In this case, s' is positive, so the image is real.
E. Virtual
In this case, the magnification is 5/9, so we have
[tex]M=\frac{5}{9}=-\frac{s'}{s}[/tex]
which can be rewritten as
[tex]s'=-M s = -\frac{5}{9}s[/tex]
which means that s' has opposite sign than s: therefore, the image is virtual.
F. 12.0 cm
From the magnification equation, we can write
[tex]s'=-Ms[/tex]
and then we can substitute it into the lens equation:
[tex]\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{s'}\\\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{-Ms}[/tex]
and we can solve for s:
[tex]\frac{1}{f}=\frac{M-1}{Ms}\\f=\frac{Ms}{M-1}\\s=\frac{f(M-1)}{M}=\frac{(-15 cm)(\frac{5}{9}-1}{\frac{5}{9}}=12.0 cm[/tex]
G. -6.67 cm
Now the image distance can be directly found by using again the magnification equation:
[tex]s'=-Ms=-\frac{5}{9}(12.0 cm)=-6.67 cm[/tex]
And the sign of s' (negative) also tells us that the image is virtual.
H. -24.0 cm
In this case, the image is twice as tall as the object, so the magnification is
M = 2
and the distance of the image from the lens is
s' = -24 cm
The problem is asking us for the image distance: however, this is already given by the problem,
s' = -24 cm
so, this is the answer. And the fact that its sign is negative tells us that the image is virtual.
The correct answers to the questions are:
- A. 6.67 cm
- B. Converging
- C. -1.25
- D. Real and inverted
- E. Virtual
- F. 12.0 cm
- G. -6.67 cm
- H. -24.0 cm
Calculations
To find the image distance for the question in question G is by the use of the magnification equation which is:
s1= -Ms
=> -5/9(12cm)
=> Â -6.67cm.
Because the value is negative, we know that the image is virtual.
