Hypothesis: If a single thin lens produces an inverted image, then the image is real.

Would the following investigation be a legitimate test of the valid hypothesis, i.e., would the investigation provide data to either support or contradict the hypothesis? Explain.

A student sets up thin lenses so that they produce images on a screen and checks the orientation of the image relative to the object.

Because a concave lens cannot form a real image of a real object, it is difficult to measure its focal length precisely. One method uses a second, convex, lens to produce a virtual object for the concave lens. Under the proper conditions, the concave lens will form a real image of the virtual object! A student conducting a laboratory project on concave lenses makes the following observations: When a lamp is placed 42.7 cm to the left of a particular...

1A) A real image has the following characteristics: (I) it cannot be formed by a diverging lens (II) it is always inverted (III) it can be formed only if the object is very far away (IV) it must be on the same side of the lens as the object The correct answers are III and IV I and IV II and IV I and II 1B) A lens produces a diminished image. So (I) the lens can be diverging (II)...

True of False: 1. When light traveling in air (of index 1.00) reflects off of a thin film of oil (of index 1.45) that is coating a piece of glass (of index 1.50), there is a relative phase shift of half a wavelength (in oil) due to reflection at the film boundaries. 2. A ray of light is incident on a material interface where n2 is less than n1. For incident angles less than or equal to the critical angle,...
