Question
A clear glass light bulb is placed 0.750 m from a convex lens having a 0.500 m focal length, as shown. Use ray tracing to get an approximate location for the image. Then use the thin lens equations to calculate (a) the location of the image and (b) its magnification. Verify that ray tracing and the thin lens equations produce consistent results.
