Draw Double Concave Lens Diagram

AI Thread Summary
A double concave lens diagram requires the object to be placed between the lens and its focal point. The rays of light should be drawn parallel to the principal axis, diverging after passing through the lens. A suggested resource for creating the diagram is a Java applet that simulates lens behavior. The discussion clarifies that the diagram follows standard conventions for concave lenses. Understanding the basic setup resolves initial confusion regarding the task.

Homework Equations



no equations needed.

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

or whatever variation you feel like.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
