A movie camera with a (single) lens of focal length 75mmtakesa picture ofa person standing 27maway. If the person is180cmtall, what is the height of the image on the film?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The height of the image on the film is 0.5cm.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

Focal length

f=75mm=7.5cm

Object distance

p=27m=2700cm

Height of the personH=180cm

02

Understanding the concepts of optics

The focal length and the object distance is given in the problem. By using the lens equation, we can find the image distance. Using the relation between the magnification, the image distance and the object distance, we can find the magnification. Using the height of the object given in the problem, we can find the height of the image.

Formula:

1f=1i+1pm=-ipm=Imageheight(h')Originalheight(H)

03

Calculations of the height of the image on the film

We have,

1f=1i+1p

Rearranging for,

1i=1f-1pi=11f-1p=117.5-12700=7.5cm

We have,

m=-ipm=Imageheighth'OriginalheightH-ip=Imageheighth'OriginalheightH

Imageheighth'=-ip×OriginalheightH=-7.52700×180=0.5cm

The height of the image on the film is =0.5cm.

58 through 67 61 59 Lenses with given radii. An object Ostands in front of a thin lens, on the central axis. For this situation, each problem in Table 34-7 gives object distance , index of refraction n of the lens, radius localid="1662989860522" r1of the nearer lens surface, and radius localid="1662988669866" r2of the farther lens surface. (All distances are in centimeters.) Find (a) the image distance iand (b) the lateral magnification m of the object, including signs. Also, determine whether the image is (c) real localid="1662988718474" Ror virtual localid="1662988727007" V, (d) inverted localid="1662988740117" Ifrom object or non-inverted localid="1662989876683" NI, and (e) on the same side of the lens as objectOor on the opposite side.

At what depth below the top water surface do you perceive the coin? (Hint: Use the result and assumptions of Problem 112 and work with a ray diagram.)

17 through 29 22 23, 29 More mirrors. Object O stands on the central axis of a spherical or plane mirror. For this situation, each problem in Table 34-4 refers to (a) the type of mirror, (b) the focal distance f, (c) the radius of curvature r, (d) the object distance p, (e) the imagedistance i, and (f) the lateral magnification m. (All distances are in centimeters.) It also refers to whether (g) the image is real (R)or virtual localid="1662996882725" (V), (h) inverted (I)or noninverted (NI)from O, and (i) on the same side of the mirror as object O or on the opposite side. Fill in the missing information. Where only a sign is missing, answer with the sign.

A pepper seed is placed in front of a lens. The lateral magnification of the seed is +0.300. The absolute value of the lens’s focal length is40.0cm. How far from the lens is the image?

A simple magnifier of focal length fis placed near the eye of someone whose near point Pn is25cm . An object is positioned so that its image in the magnifier appears atPn. (a) What is the angular magnification of the magnifier? (b) What is the angular magnification if the object is moved so that its image appears at infinity? For f=10cm, evaluate the angular magnifications of (c) the situation in (a) and (d) the situation in (b). (Viewing an image atPnrequires effort by muscles in the eye, whereas viewing an image at infinity requires no such effort for many people.)
