One way to roughly measure the focal distance of an unknown converging lens is to use it to focus a far-away object. for example, you can focus an image of the overhead light fixture onto the floor. then the distance from the lens to the floor is approximately the focal length. a. draw a ray diagram for this situation and discuss why it is a reasonable way to approximate the focal length.    b. Do you expect this method to...

An object 2.00 cm high is placed 31.1 cm to the left of a converging lens having a focal length of 26.1 cm. A diverging lens having a focal length of −20.0 cm is placed 110 cm to the right of the converging lens. (Use the correct sign conventions for the following answers.) (a) Determine the final position and magnification of the final image. (Give the final position as the image distance from the second lens.) Find final position in...

4.) You position a lens 120 cm from a lamp and use it to project an image of the lamp onto a screen. You measure that the image of the light is one-fourth as tall as the actual lamp. a.) Is the lens a converging lens or a diverging lens? b.) Is the image of the lamp upside right or upside down? c.) What is the focal length of the lens?

The projection lens in a certain slide projector is a single thin lens. A slide 23.9 mm high is to be projected so that its image fills a screen 1.70 m high. The slide-to-screen distance is 3.07 m. (a) Determine the focal length of the projection lens. (b) How far from the slide should the lens of the projector be placed to form the image on the screen?

Use the thin lens equation and the equation for magnification, to show that for a single diverging lens that the image of a real object is always virtual, upright, and reduced. (Hint: Solve the lens equation for di and substitute into the equation for magnification. Discuss the value and sign of magnification for negative values of f.
