The problem involves calculating the longitudinal magnification of an object placed along the principal axis of a lens, with specific parameters including the object's length and distance from the lens. The context is optics, specifically related to lens behavior.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants question the original poster's (OP) understanding of the problem and the necessity of showing their efforts before receiving guidance. There is a discussion about the appropriateness of helping with homework versus facilitating learning.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants emphasizing the importance of the OP demonstrating their thought process. Some participants express reluctance to provide direct solutions, while others suggest that helping the OP's brother should focus on understanding rather than completing the homework for him.

Contextual Notes

Hi everyone
This is my exercise.

Calculate the longitudinal magnification of an object of length L placed along the principal axis of a lens (of focal length f) with the end B at distance H from the lens :confused:

I've attached the image of this problem
I prefer the solution next sunday :smile:

Thank you so much
Jona

Oh! I forget "f" in the picture, It's below the lens...

Please note that we do not do your homeworkf for you here! You must first show your efforts, so we can guide you to the answer. Although I can't see the image yet (it needs to be approved) I guess from the above comment, that you haven't put your working in there. So, do you have any thoughts as to how to solve the problem?
 
I would post the solution but I'll follow the OP's request of posting it next Sunday...

...actually, I won't be at work as it's a Sunday.

Guess I'll have to leave this one.

Hey-ho :-p :biggrin:
 
Really it's my brother homework and
I may solve this one for him if I've enough time
And I write down that "I prefer the solution next sunday"
Because he shout to me like that, so thanks for your all advices.

And I may put my solution in this post and attach that image again
Thank you so much.

If you think you are doing your 'brother' a favour by doing his homework, you are very mistaken.

Just as by doing your homework, we would not be doing you a favor-- but rather a disservice.

I agree. If your brother needs help, then by all means help him if you can. But doing it for him will not help him learn at all!
