The lateral magnification,
Does the value of the lateral magnification depend on the location of the observer? Explain.
Consider the two examples in this tutorial. In each case, is the absolute value of the lateral magnification greater than, less than or equal to one? (If your answer depends on observer location, choose an observer who can see the entire image.)
Does the lateral magnification tell you whether the image will appear larger than the object without the lens? Explain why or why not.

- As shown, what happens to the image point I as the object point O moves toward the right-hand surface of the material of index of refraction n1? (a) It always remains between O and the surface, arriving at the surface just as Odoes. (b) It moves toward the surface more slowly than O so that eventually O passes I. (c) It approaches the surface and then moves to the right of the surface.arrow_forward1.Place your object at a distance equal to the focal length (f) of your diverging lens. Where is your image located? Describe the type of image formed based on size, orientation, and condition and provide a screenshot of your set-up. 2.Place your object at a distance less than the focal length (f) of your diverging lens. Where is your image located? Describe the type of image formed based on size, orientation, and condition and provide a screenshot of your set-up.arrow_forwardConsider the compound optical system shown in the diagram, where two thin lenses of focal lengths 7.5 cm (left lens) and 35 cm (right lens) are separated by a distance 25 cm. If a 2.9 cm tall object is placed as indicated in part (a), and the image formed is 0.74 cm tall, what is the magnification of the first lens? M1 = b. Using the information from part (a), calculate the image distance, in centimeters, from the first lens. di1 =arrow_forward
- Two convex lenses which share a common principal axis are separated by a distance which is greater than the sum of their focal lengths, as shown. Part (a) An object is placed a distance do,1=22 cm to the left of lens 1 which has focal length F1=4.2 cm. Ignore the existence of lens 2 for the moment. What is the position of the image, di,1 created by lens 1? Include the sign which is consistent with standard sign conventions. Part (b) Calculate the magnification, M1, of lens 1 for the object as positioned in the previous step. Be certain to include the sign that is consistent with the standard conventions. Part (c) Which statement best describes the image created by lens 1? Part (d) Lens 2 is placed a distance L=20.0cm to the right of lens 1, and the image of lens 1 becomes the object of lens 2. Calculate the object distance, do,2, relative to lens 2. Be certain to include the sign as consistent with the standard sign conventions.

(a) If we place an object at a distance of 25 cm from the lens, where will the resulting image position on the other side of the lens be found? Include units in answer, (b) With the object at 25 cm from the lens, what will the magnification be for the image at this position? (c) If we place an object at a distance of 4 cm from the lens, where will the resulting image position be found?

M1 =arrow_forwardIn this example, we will find the position and magnification of an image formed by a spherical mirror. A lamp is placed 10 cmcm in front of a concave spherical mirror that forms an image of the filament on a screen placed 3.0 mm from the mirror. What is the radius of curvature of the mirror? What is the lateral magnification? If the lamp filament is 5.0 mmmm high, how tall is its image? SOLUTION SET UP (Figure 1) shows our diagram. SOLVE Both object distance and image distance are positive; we have ss = 10 cmcm and s's′ = 300 cmcm. To find the radius of curvature, we use the following: 1s+1s′110cm+1300cm==2R, and RR = 19.4 cmcm. The lateral magnification mm is obtained from m=y′/y=−s′/s m=y′y=−150mm5mm=−30. To find the height of the image, we simply multiply the height of the object by the magnification: y′=−30×5.0 m=150m REFLECT The image is inverted (as we know because m = -30 is negative) and is 30 times taller than the object. Notice that the filament is not located at the…arrow_forward
- If the radius of curvature of the mirror in diagram A is 15 cm and the object which is 10 cm long is placed 20 cm away from the mirror, then the location of the image is 12 cm and the size of the image is 6 cm. 1. What is the location of the image? (between F and C, at C etc.) 2. What is the orientation of the image? (inverted or upright) 3. What is the size of the image? (reduced, same, bigger) 4.
