Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 67GP
A near-sighted person might correct his vision by wearing diverging lenses with focal length f = –50 cm. When wearing his glasses, he looks not at actual objects but at the virtual images of those objects formed by his glasses. Suppose he looks at a 12-cm-long pencil held vertically 2.0 m from his glasses. Use ray tracing to determine the location and height of the image.
