SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around the calculations of focal lengths and image distances for concave mirrors and double convex lenses. The student calculated the focal length of a concave mirror to be 5 cm and the image distance for a light bulb placed 12 cm in front of the same mirror to be 4 cm. For the double convex lens, the focal length was determined to be 2.4 cm, with an image distance of 7.5 cm for a light bulb placed 30 cm in front of the lens. The discussion also includes observations on how the location and size of images change as the object is moved closer to the optical devices.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the mirror formula: f = (do * di) / (do + di)
  • Familiarity with lens formula: di = (do * f) / (do - f)
  • Basic knowledge of optics, specifically concave mirrors and double convex lenses
  • Ability to interpret image characteristics such as location and size changes
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the mirror formula in detail, including derivations and applications
  • Learn about the lens formula and its implications for image formation
  • Explore the concepts of real and virtual images in optics
  • Investigate the effects of object distance on image characteristics for both mirrors and lenses
USEFUL FOR

Students studying optics, physics educators, and anyone preparing for exams involving optical systems and image formation principles.

A) A student places a light bulb 30 cm in front of a concave mirror. A real image of the bulb is found 6 cm in front of the mirror. What is the focal length of the mirror?

my answer was 5 cm

Given
-----
do=30cm
di=6cm
f=?

f=dodi/do+di

f=30*6/30+6

=5

B) If a light bulb is place 12 cm in front of a concave mirror with a focal length of 3 cm. How far in front of the mirror will the real image of the light bulb be found?

my answer was 4 cm

Given
-----
do=12cm
f=3cm
di=?

di=dof/do-f

di=12cm*3cm/12cm-3cm

=4

H) How did the location of the image change as you moved the object (light bulb) toward a mirror?

increased

I) how did the size of the image change as you moved the object toward the mirror?

increased in size


-----------------------------


A) A student places a light bulb 12 cm in front of a double convex lens. A real image of the bulb is found 3 cm on the other side of the lens. What is the focal length of the lens?

my answer was 2.4 cm

Given
-----
do=12cm
di=3cm
f=?

f=dodi/do+di

f=12*3/12+3

=2.4

B) A light bulb is place 30 cm in front of a double convex lens with a focal length of 6 cm. How far on the other side of the lens will the real image of the light bulb be found?

my answer was 7.5 cm

Given
-----
do=30cm
f=6cm
di=?

di=dodf/do-f

di=30*6/30-6

=7.5

H) How did the location of an image change as you moved the object (light bulb) toward a lens?

decreased

I) How did the size of the image change as you moved the object toward the lens?

it also decreased in size


thanks


it is due today and I leave in 45 minutes, I need it checked
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I guess since we all missed your deadline it isn't important anymore...
 
please

I can check your answers and provide feedback, but I cannot guarantee that it will be done within 45 minutes. Can you please clarify what you need checked? Is it just the answers or do you need help understanding the concepts as well? Also, please specify which set of questions you need checked (A and B or H and I). Thank you.
