Combination of spherical lenses

In summary, two thin lenses with focal lengths of +15 cm and -15 cm are placed 60 cm apart. A bird, located 25 cm in front of the converging lens, has an upright, real, and magnified image. If the bird is 10 cm in height, the height of its image is 20 cm when the lenses are a combination of convex and concave. Additionally, if an object is placed at x= -12 cm, the position of the image is x= 4 cm, the image is real, and the magnification is -0.5.

Two thin lenses having focal lengths of +15 cm and -15 cm are positioned 60 cm apart. A bird stands 25 cm in front of of the converging lens.

a. describe the image of the bird. Is it real or virtual? Upright or inverted? Magnified or reduced?

b. If the bird is 10 cm in height, what is the height of its image?

Combination of lenses (Convex & Concave)

Two lenses are placed on the x-axis of a line. The first lens is a diverging lens with a focal length of 9 cm placed x= -8 cm. The second lens is a converging lens with focal length 4 cm placed x= 6 cm. If an object is placed at x= -12 cm, what is the position of the image, image type (virtual or real), and the magnification of the image?

What is a combination of spherical lenses?

A combination of spherical lenses refers to the use of two or more lenses with curved surfaces, placed in close proximity, to manipulate light in order to form an image or correct vision.

What are the types of combinations of spherical lenses?

There are two main types of combinations of spherical lenses: converging (convex) lenses and diverging (concave) lenses. Converging lenses bring light rays together and form real images, while diverging lenses spread light rays apart and form virtual images.

How does a combination of spherical lenses work?

A combination of spherical lenses works by bending and refracting light as it passes through the curved surfaces of the lenses. This refraction causes the light rays to converge or diverge, which then forms an image. The image formed depends on the type and arrangement of the lenses used.

What is the difference between a combination of spherical lenses and a single lens?

A single lens has only one curved surface, while a combination of spherical lenses has multiple curved surfaces. This allows for more control and manipulation of light, resulting in a clearer and more accurate image. Additionally, a combination of spherical lenses can correct for more complex vision problems compared to a single lens.

What are some common applications of a combination of spherical lenses?

A combination of spherical lenses has various applications, including in eyeglasses, cameras, telescopes, and microscopes. They are also used in medical equipment, such as during eye examinations and surgeries. In addition, they are used in many scientific experiments and research studies to manipulate and study light and optics.
