Question

An object is placed 96.5 cm from a glass lens (n = 1.51) with one concave surface of radius 24 cm and one convex surface of radius 19.1 cm . Determine the final image distance from the center of lens. Follow the sign conventions. What is the magnification? Follow the sign conventions.

Answer 1

image is vertical at distance -203.62 cm

magnification is 2.110

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

n = 1.51

distance u = 96.5 cm

concave radius r1 = 24 cm

convex radius r2 = 19.1 cm

to find out

final image distance and magnification

solution

we will apply here lens formula to find focal length f

1/f = n-1 ( 1/r1 - 1/r2) .......................1

put here all value

1/f = 1.51 -1 ( -1/24 + 1/19.1)

f = 183.43

so from lens formula

1/f = 1/v + 1/u .............................2

put here all value and find v

1/183.43 = 1/v + 1/96.5

so

v = −203.62 cm

so here image is vertical at distance -203.62 cm

and

magnification are = -v /u

magnification = 203.62 / 96.5

magnification is 2.110
