You are standing 050 m in front of a lens that projects an i
You are standing 0.50 m in front of a lens that projects an image of you onto a wall 1.9 m on the other side of the lens
Part A
What is the focal length of the lens?
Express your answer in meters to two significant figures
Part B
What is the magnification?
Express your answer to two significant figures.
Solution
A) 1/do + 1/di = 1/f
=> 1/0.50 + 1/1.9 = 1/f
=> f = 1.9 * 0.50 / (1.9 + 0.50) = 0.40 m
B) m = -di / do = -1.9 / 0.50 = -3.8
