(b)
Answer to Problem 36.44P
Explanation of Solution
From Figure (1), it is evident that the image is formed on the rear side and is real and the images formed at the back side of the lens are real.
From Figure (2), the image is formed at
Conclusion:
The images formed by the lens in front of it are virtual and erect and images formed on the back side are real and inverted. Hence, image formed by the object kept at.
(c)
Answer to Problem 36.44P
Explanation of Solution
From Figure (1), it is evident that the image is formed on the rear side and is real. and
the real images are always inverted
From Figure (2), the image is formed at
The virtual images are always upright.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the images formed by the lens in front of it are virtual and erect and images formed on the back side are real and inverted. Hence, image formed by the object kept at.

Substitute
From equation (6) and equation (7) it is evident that for the case of object at
From equation (8) and (9) the image distance and magnification is same for the ray diagram and the algebraic case when the object is
Conclusion:
Therefore, the result for the ray diagrams and algebraic calculations are same.
(f)
Answer to Problem 36.44P
Explanation of Solution
While drawing the graph the possible errors are human hand errors, parallax errors and scale measurement errors.
Human Hand Errors are while making the ray diagrams the rays might not converge with extreme precision. Parallax error/Human eye errors occur due to human eye. Scale errors are during the scale measurement.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the three most common errors that can lead to difficulties in constructing the graph which might lead to change the algebraic and graphical values are human hand errors, parallax errors and Scale errors.
