What is the image distance if a 5.00 cm tall object is placed 2.33 cm from a converging lens with a focal length of 5.75 cm?0.603cm1.66cm-0.255cm-3.92cm

Respuesta :

We will have the following:

First, we will recall that:

[tex]\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}[/tex]

That is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{5.75}=\frac{1}{2.33}+\frac{1}{u}\Rightarrow\frac{1}{u}=-\frac{1368}{5359} \\ \\ \Rightarrow u=-\frac{5359}{1368}\Rightarrow u\approx-3.92 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, the image distance is approximately -3.92 cm.
