AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a request for help with calculating the longitudinal magnification of an object using a lens. The original poster, Jona, asks for a solution by Sunday, mentioning it is for his brother's homework. Forum members emphasize the importance of showing one's own efforts before seeking assistance, highlighting that simply providing answers does not promote learning. They encourage Jona to help his brother understand the problem rather than doing it for him. The consensus is that while support is welcome, it should foster learning rather than enable dependency.

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!
