The rays leaving the two-component optical system of FIGUREP35.27produce two distinct images of the1.0cm-tall object. what are the position (relative to the lens), orientation, and height of each image?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The position (relative to the lens), orientation, and height of each image isS'=10cmandS'2=20cm.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We have given that:

focal length of mirrorf1=10cm,

the distance from the mirrorS1=5cm.

We need to find a position(relative to the lens), orientation, and height of each image.

02

Simplify

Firstly Let us find S1':

f1S1S1-f1 (Substitute values in equation.)

localid="1648896821479" S'1=10cm5cm5cm-10cm

localid="1648896899300" S1=50cm-5cm

localid="1648896910594" S'1=10cm.

Here, S'1is the height of the first image, f1is the focal length of the mirror andS1is the distance from the mirror.

now let us findlocalid="1648896779745" S'2:

localid="1648896921675" S'2=f2S2S2-f2 (substitute values in the equation.)

localid="1648896933269" S'2=10cm20cm20cm-10cm

localid="1648896942880" S'2=200cm10cm

localid="1648896955537" S'2=20cm.

Here S'2is the height of the second image, f2is the focal length of lens and S2is the distance from the lens.
