A 29 cm pencil is placed 35cm in front of a convex lens and is illuminated by a spotlight. the focal point of the lens is 28cm from the lens
a. what is the height of the pencils image?
b.how far from the lens will the image be focused?

Respuesta :

A) What is the height of the pencil image

a. The height of image of pencil will be 116 cm.

b. The image will formed at distance of 140 cm from the lens.

a. The lens equation is given as,

                [tex]\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}\\ [/tex]

Where u is distance of object from lens, v is distance of image from lens and f is focal length.

Given that,  [tex]u=35cm,f=28cm[/tex]

Substitute values in above equation.

                [tex]\frac{1}{28}=\frac{1}{v} +\frac{1}{35}\\ \\ \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{28}-\frac{1}{35} =\frac{5-4}{140} =\frac{1}{140}\\ \\ v=140cm[/tex]

The image will formed at distance of 140 cm from the lens.

b. Magnification is given as,

                  [tex]m=\frac{v}{u}=\frac{h_{i}}{h_{o}} [/tex]

Here, [tex]h_{i}[/tex]  is height of image and [tex]h_{0}[/tex] is height of object.

         [tex]\frac{h_{i}}{29}=\frac{140}{35}=4\\ \\ h_{i}=29*4=116cm[/tex]

The height of image of pencil will be 116 cm.
