An object (represented by a vertical black arrow below) is placed a distance of d_0 = 5.100 cm from a diverging lens of focal length f = -2.72 cm. How many centimeters away from the lens is the image of the object formed? Note that distance should be a positive quantity. Distance from lens to image Making sure to include the proper sign, what is the de image s magnification? Magnification Describe the nature of the image. Inverted and smaller upright and smaller Inverted and larger Upright and larger

Explanation / Answer

f = -2.72 cm,

do = 5 cm

from lens law,

1/f = 1/do + 1/di

1/di = -1/2.72 -1/5

di = -1.76 cm ............(a)

m = -di / do

m = -(-1.76) / 5

m = +0.35

The image is upright and smaller...
