Homework Statement
A 1.0-cm-tall object is placed 4.0cm from a diverging lens of focal length 6.0cm. Using both ray tracing and the thin lens formula, find the location and orientation of the image.
Homework Equations
-1/f = 1/so + 1/si
m = -si/so = hi/ho
The Attempt at a Solution
-1/6cm = 1/4cm + 1/si
si = -2.40 cm
Okay so attached my ray tracing diagram.. (sorry for the crappy camera quality), but the point where the Si crosses the ho is supposed to be where the object distance is.. and i measured with my ruler that it is 0.4cm, not 2.4cm. What am I doing wrong in the drawing?
