Question

A converging lens $(f=25.0 \mathrm{cm})$ is used to project an image of an object onto a screen. The object and the screen are 125 $\mathrm{cm}$ apart, and between them the lens can be placed at either of two locations. Find the two object distances.

Step 1

The lens formula is given by $\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{d_o} + \frac{1}{d_i}$, where $f$ is the focal length of the lens, $d_o$ is the object distance from the lens, and $d_i$ is the image distance from the lens. For a converging lens, $f$ is positive. In Show more…
