A thin lens with a focal length of 687 cm has a firefly sitt
A thin lens with a focal length of 6.87 cm has a firefly sitting 11.5 cm in front of it. The height of the firefly is 5.07 mm and 57.9 cm on the other side of lens A is a thin lens B that has a focal length of 27.5 cm and shares a common axis. Is the final image (of lens B) real or virtual? What is the position of the final image relative to the lens B as a positive number? How high is the image as a positive number? Is the final image upright or inverted in relation to the firefly?
Solution
Here,
focal length , f1 = 6.87 cn
object distance , do1 = 11.5 cm
height of object , ho = 5.07 mm
f2 = 27.5 cm
d = 57.9 cm
a) for the first lens
1/f1 = 1/di1 + 1/do1
1/6.87 = 1/11.5 + 1/di1
di1 = 17.1 cm
do2 = 57.9 - 17.1
do2 = 40.8 cm
for the second lens
1/f2 = 1/40.8 + 1/di2
1/27.5 = 1/40.8 + 1/di2
di2 = 84.21 cm
the image is Real
b)
position of final image relative to lens B = di2
position of final image relative to lens B =84.21 cm
c)
le the image height is hi
hi = 5.07 * (84.21/40.8) * (17.1/11.5)
hi = 15.6 mm
the height of image is 15.6 mm
d)
the image is real and it Upright
