  • Understanding Lenses.

    The focal length f is an intrinsic property of the lens. These three quantities are related through the equation 1/s + 1/s' = 1/f. Note that this equation is valid only for thin, spherical lenses.

    (b) What is the magnification of the image? Work this problem by ray tracing? I need to see each step and formula to solve this question.

  • Magnification of the Image Formed by the Lens

    Apply the thin lens equation 1/s0 + 1/si = 1/f where s0 is the distance measured from the object to the center of the lens. so s0 = +36 cm since it is placed to the left of the lens. si is the distance measured from the lens to the image.

  • Lens equation discussed
