Question

Now consider the case in which the object is between the lens and the focal point. Trace the P ray (use the label P1P1P_1 for the segment of the P ray on the same side as the object and P2P2P_2 for the segment on the opposite side) and the M ray. Draw the vectors for the incident rays starting from the tip of the object. The location and orientation of the vectors will be graded.

Answer 1

1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise we will use two methods, an analytical method which is to use the constructor equation

1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

where f is the focal length, positive for converging lenses and negative for diverging lenses, p and q are the distance to the object and the image respectively

m = h’/ h = - q / p

where m is the magnification, h ’and h are the height of the image and the object.

We will also use a graphical method, where three rays will be traded

1) A ray that passes through the center of the lens and should not

2) a ray that passes through the focal length and comes out parallel to the lens

3) A ray that is horizontal and comes out through the focal from the other side
