Example Problem 11.10Practice Problems1. A convex lens has a focallength of 15 cm.An object is placed 20 cmfrom the lens. What typeof image is formed? Howfar from the lens is theimage?2. A convex lens focussesthe light from the imageof a bacterium that is0.02 cm from the lens.If the focal length of thelens is 0.03 cm, how farfrom the lens is theimage?3. A convex lens has a focallength of 5.0 cm.If a penny is placed at thefocus, where is the imageof the penny formed?A convex lens has a focal length of 60.0 cm. A candle is placed50 cm from the lens. What type of image is formed, and how far isthe image from the lens?GivenFocal length of the convex lens, f = 60 cmDistance of the object from the lens, d o= 50 cmRequiredDistance of the image from the lens, d iAnalysis and SolutionA convex lens has a positive focal length, so f =60.0 cm1 1 1Use the thin lens formula:f=d+od i1 1 1 1Rearrange the formula ford: = –id if d oSubstitute the values and their units, and solve the problem.1 1 1d=f–id o1 1 1 1d= i 60 50cm1 –0.003333d=icmTake the reciprocal of both sides of the equation to eliminate thefractions.d i= 300 cmParaphraseSince d iis negative, the image is virtual and is located 300 cm fromthe lens.456 UNIT D Light and Geometric Optics
