. An object 8.5 cm high is placed 28 cm from a converging lens. The focal length of the lens is 12 cm. Calculate the image distance, di. Calculate the image height, hi.

Respuesta :

The converging lens is also called a concave lens. The height of the image formed by the lens is 2.55 cm.

Using the lens formula;

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

f = focal length of the lens

u = object distance

v = image distance

Note that the focal length of a converging lens is positive

Substituting values;

1/12 = 1/28 + 1/v

1/v = 1/12 -  1/28

v = 8.4 cm

Magnification= image height/object height = image distance/object distance

image height = ?

object height = 8.5 cm

image distance = 8.4 cm

object distance =  28 cm

So

image height/8.5 = 8.4/28

image height = 8.5 × 8.4/28

image height = 2.55 cm
