Textbook Question
Chapter 10.4, Problem 1cT
Three students are discussing their results from part B:
Student 1: I think that the image is closer to me than the pencil itself. The closer something is, the bigger it looks. Because the image of the pencil appears wider than the pencil itself, the image must be closer to me than the pencil.
Student 2: That sounds reasonable, but when I used parallax to determine the location of the image of the pencil, I found that it was farther from me than the pencil.
Student 3: “That doesn't make sense though. If the image were behind the pencil, then how could see the image? Wouldn't the pencil block my view of the imager?"
Do you agree or disagree with each of these students? Discuss your reasoning with your partners.
