The lateral magnification,
Does the value of the lateral magnification depend on the location of the observer? Explain.
Consider the two examples in this tutorial. In each case, is the absolute value of the lateral magnification greater than, less than or equal to one? (If your answer depends on observer location, choose an observer who can see the entire image.)
Does the lateral magnification tell you whether the image will appear larger than the object without the lens? Explain why or why not.

- A ray of light travels through air until it strikes the interface between the air and another medium. The incident ray makes an angle of 0₁ into the second medium, the ray is refracted, emerging from the interface at an angle 02 with respect to the normal. O Air (a) Suppose that the second medium is fused quartz. What is the angle of refraction, 02 (in degrees)? (Enter your answer to at least one decimal place.)

Behind the diverging lens, there is a converging lens of focal length, f = 17 cm. The distance between the lenses is 3 cm. In the next few steps, you will find the location and size of the final image. Hint a. Where is the intermediate image formed by the first diverging lens? Image distance from first lens is di= cm. (Use the sign to indicate which side the image is on; positive sign means image is on the side of outgoing rays, and negative sign means image is on the side opposite to the outgoing rays.) b. Where is the final image formed by the second converging lens? Image distance from second lens is di₂ = cm. (Use the sign to indicate which side the image is on.) c.

- Course # Section # Pre-lab The Focal length of a lens Read the manual 0-3 thoroughly. When an object is put in front of a thin lens, if the focal length of a lens is known, one can predict where the image will be formed by using the thin lens equation: Name 1 1 1 p q f where p is the object distance, q is the image distance, and fis the focal length. fis positive for a converging lens, and negative for a diverging lens. Refer to the figure below to answer the questions: A positive lens F 9= A negative lens -f 1. If an object is located very far from a converging lens, i.e. poo, where would its image be formed? 9= 2. If an object is located on the first focal point of a converging lens, i.e. p=f, where is its image formed? 9. = Is the image on the same side or opposite side of the lens as the object? 3. If an object is located on the second focal point of a diverging lens, i.e. p = f, where is its image formed?

If a quantity cannot be calculated, write “X". Distances are measured in centimeters. The object is real in all cases. If a number (except in row n for the index of refraction) has no + or – sign in front of it, find the correct sign.

You have determined the height of the image using numerical methods and, in so doing, have also determined its position, s′s′s'. Now, use graphical methods to evaluate your results.The diagram below shows the object, a ray (ray 1) parallel to the optic axis of the lens, and a ray (ray 2) proceeding toward the first focal point of the lens. Draw the refracted rays and the image produced by the lens. Make sure you extend the refracted rays sufficiently backward in order to find the image.
