The Attempt at a Solution



I do not have my notes on me at the moment and cannot find this diagram in the book, or the internet. Does anyone here know how this diagram would look?

if it is easier for you you can use this java applet: http://www.geocities.com/capecanaveral/hall/6645/Lens/lens_e.html

Yes, the first thing that popped in the window, except with a concave lens instead of a convex lens, is what the problem is talking about. Just the standard lens diagram for a concave lens.

So the rays will go parallel-focus.
 
thank you, turns out i just didn't fully understand the question until you said it was just the standard.
 
Right, just do something like this


*f-------Obj-----------------Lens

or whatever variation you feel like.
