C.) If the object is 3.5 cm long, determine the image height.


cm
D.) Which of the following are true about the image? Choose all that apply.
The image is real.

The image is upright.


E.) Which of the following are true about the lens? Choose all that apply.
The lens is converging.
The lens is convex.

The lens is concave.

Explanation / Answer

for lens 1/f = 1/u +1/v

A) 1/v =1/f - 1/u

        = -1/13.1- 1/42.8

v = -10.03 cm

B) m = -v/u

= -10.03/42.8

= 0.234

C) m = y'/y

y' = 0.234*3.5

= 0.82 cm

D) The image is virtual.
The image is inverted

E) The lens is convex.
The lens is diverging
