A plano-convex lens is one with a convex surface on one side and a flat surface on the other. Suppose a thin lens is made of glass with index of refraction 1.5. If the radius of curvature of the curved surface is 1.1 meters, what is the focal length of the lens? Give your answer in meters.
An object with a height of 2 cm is placed 3.2 cm to the left of a converging lens with a focal length of 8.0 cm. A diverging lens with a focal length of -14.0 cm is placed 7.0 cm to the right of the converging lens.
Draw a ray diagram of the first image formed by the converging lens. Draw at least 2 rays.
A 2.5-cm-high object is placed in front of a concave mirror with a radius of curvature of 10 cm. Determine the image height if the object distance is 2.5 cm, 7.5 cm, 10 cm, 15 cm. Draw light ray diagrams to find the image in each case.
