PHY76 THIN LENSES

1. An insect 3.75 mm tall is placed 22.5 cm to the left of a thin planoconvex lens. The left surface of this lens is fIat, the right
surface has a radius of curvature of magnitude 13.0 cm, and the index of refraction of the lens material is 1.70. (a) Calculate
the location and size of the image this lens forms of the insect. Is it real or virtual? Erect or inverted? (b) Repeat part (a) if
the lens is reversed.
2. A lens forms an image of an object The object is 16.0 cm from the lens. The image is 12.0 cm from the lens on the same side
as the object. (a) Whatis the focal length of the lens? Is the lens converging or diverging? (b) If the object is 8.50 mm tall,
how tall is the image? Is it erect or inverted? (c) Draw a principal-ray diagram.
3. A converging meniscus lens with a refractive index of 1.52 has spherical surfaces whose radii are 7.00 cm and 4.00 cm.
What is the position of the image if an object is placed 24.0 cm to the left of the lens? What is the magnification?
4. A doub1e-convex thin lens has surfaces with equal radii of curvature of magnitude 2.50 cm. Looking through this lens, you
observe that it forms an image of a very distant tree at a distance of 1.87 cm from the lens. What is the index of refraction
of the lens?
5. A converging lens forms an image of an 8.00-mm-tall real object. The image is 12.0 cm to the left of the lens, 3.40 cm tall,
and erect. What is the focal length of the lens? Where is the object located?
