Pinhole Camera. A pinhole camera is just a rectangular box with a tiny hole in one face. The film is on the face opposite this hole, and that is where the image is formed. The camera forms an image without a lens. (a) Make a clear ray diagram to show how a pinhole camera can form an image on the film without using a lens. (Hint: Put an object outside the hole, and then draw rays passing through the hole to the opposite side of the box.) (b) A certain pinhole camera is a box that is 25 cm square and 20.0 cm deep, with the hole in the middle of one of the 25 cm × 25 cm faces. If this camera is used to photograph a fierce chicken that is 18 cm high and 1.5 m in front of the camera, how large is the image of this bird on the film? What is the lateral magnification of this camera?

- Which of the following is true of a concave lens? (7.4) (a) It is a converging lens. (b) It is thicker at the center than at the edge. (c) It is a lens that forms virtual images for Do f. (d) It is a lens that forms real images for Do f.arrow_forwardA nearsighted man cannot see objects clearly beyond 20 cm from his eyes. How close must he stand to a mirror in order to see what he is doing when he shaves?arrow_forwardTwo thin lenses of focal lengths f1 = 15.0 and f2 = 10.0 cm, respectively, are separated by 35.0 cm along a common axis. The f1 lens is located to the left of the f2 lens. An object is now placed 50.0 cm to the left of the f1 lens, and a final image due to light passing though both lenses forms. By what factor is the final image different in size from the object? (a) 0.600 (b) 1.20 (c) 2.40 (d) 3.60 (e) none of those answersarrow_forward
- Au object of height 3.0 cm is placed at 25 cm in front of a diverging lens of focal length 20 cm. Behind the diverging lens, there is a converging lens of focal length 20 cm. The distance between the lenses is 5.0 cm. Fluid the location and size of the final image.arrow_forwardA pinhole camera is just a rectangular box with a tiny hole in one face.

What is the lateral magnification of this camera?arrow_forwardThe focal length of a simple lens depends on the color (wavelength) of light passing through it. Why? Is it possible for a lens to have a positive focal length for some colors and negative for others? Explain.arrow_forward
- An object is located 80 centimeters from a diverging lens with a focal length of -50 centimeters. Where is the image located and what is the magnification of the image? Is the image upright or inverted? Is the image real or virtual? Provide an accurate ray diagram.arrow_forwardYou need to record an image on a flat array of CCDs (charge coupled devices—basically a detector). You have two convex lenses mounted in a tube to which you will also attach the CCD plane. The first lens has a focal length of 15 mm and is positioned 25 mm from the sample to be imaged. The second lens, with a focal length of 10 mm, is closer to the CCDs and is 50mm from the first lens. How far away from the second lens will you mount the CCD plane? You must solve this problem using a good diagram and geometry. It is not permissible to use the lens/mirror equation, except to check your answer. Please show all work, and do not copy from chegg.arrow_forwardTo focus a camera on objects at different distances, the converging lens is moved toward or away from the CCD detector, so a sharp image always falls on the CCD. A camera with a telephoto lens (f = 0.2 m) is to be focused on an object located first at a distance of 3.9 m and then at 174.3 m. Over what distance must the lens be movable in the camera to get sharp images in both cases? [This is a real design issue for a camera - state your answer in units of millimetres "mm"]arrow_forward
- An object is placed to the left of a concave lens with focal length -10 cm such that the image produced by the lens is exactly half the size of the object. In a neat and organized fashion, write out a solution which includes the following: A sketch of the physical situation with all given physical quantities clearly labeled. Draw a ray diagram showing the object, the lens, and the image. Determine the location of the object and the image. Clearly show all steps, starting from generalized equations. Explain your mathematical work in words. Your explanation should cover both what you did and the thought process behind why you did that. Evaluate your answer to determine whether it is reasonable or not. Consider all aspects of your answer (the numerical value, sign, and units) in your evaluation.
