Orientation of Image Produced by Double Convex Lens

AI Thread Summary
To produce a horizontally flipped image with a double convex lens, the object must be positioned at a sufficient distance to ensure that light rays from the object are nearly parallel. If the object is too close, the resulting image may appear as a confusing blend of flipped and upright orientations, leading to a blurred effect. The necessary distance also varies based on the size of the object; smaller objects can be closer than larger ones. Understanding these principles is crucial for achieving the desired image orientation. Proper placement is essential for clear image formation.

This is not really a problem, more just a fact-based question. I have been using the Google, but I have been unable to find an answer. Is there a way to induce the answer that I am missing? :confused:

Question: What range of distance does a double convex lens have to be from an object to produce an image that is horizontally flipped?

Hiya, I think I might be able to help, basically you need to have the object be at a distance far enough so that you can effectively approximate that all the ray's coming from the object are parrallel, as if not you get a weird mixture of a flipped image and a right side up image superimposed (which means you won't see the actuall image at all but a weird blur). This ofc depends on the object's size as well, a really small object does not have to be as far away as a really large object. Hope this helps.
 
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...
