A bright object is placed on one side of a converging lens of focal length $f,$ and a white screen for viewing the image is on the opposite side. The distance $d_{\mathrm{T}}=d_{\mathrm{i}}+d_{\mathrm{o}}$ between the object and the screen is kept fixed, but the lens can be moved. ( $a )$ Show that if $d_{\mathrm{T}}>4 f,$ there will be two positions where the lens can be placed and a sharp image is formed. $(c)$ Determine a formula for the distance between the two lens positions in part $(a),$ and the ratio of the image sizes.

Problem 83

In a slide or movie projector, the film acts as the object whose image is projected on a screen (Fig. $23-58$ ). If a 105 -mm-focal-length lens is to project an image on a screen 8.00 $\mathrm{m}$ away, how far from the lens should the slide be? If the slide is 36 $\mathrm{mm}$ wide, how wide will the picture be on the screen?

Problem 84

A $35-\mathrm{mm}$ slide (picture size is actually 24 by 36 $\mathrm{mm} )$ is to be projected on a screen 1.80 $\mathrm{m}$ by 2.70 $\mathrm{m}$ placed 7.50 $\mathrm{m}$ from the projector. What focal-length lens should be used if the image is to cover the screen?

Problem 85

Show analytically that the image formed by a converging lens is real and inverted if the object is beyond the focal point $\left(d_{0}>f\right),$ and is virtual and upright if the object is within the focal point $\left(d_{0}<f\right) .$ Describe the image if the object is itself an image, formed by another lens, so its position is beyond the lens, for which $-d_{0}>f,$ and for which $0<-d_{0}<f$

Problem 86

A movie star catches a reporter shooting pictures of her at home. She claims the reporter was trespassing. To prove her point, she gives as evidence the film she seized. Her $1.75-\mathrm{m}$ height is 8.25 $\mathrm{mm}$ high on the film, and the focal length of the camera lens was 210 $\mathrm{mm}$ . How far away from the subject was the reporter standing?

Problem 87

How large is the image of the Sun on film used in a camera with $(a)$ a 28 -mm-focal-length lens, (b) a 50 -mm- focal-length lens, and $(c)$ a 135 -mm-focal-length lens? (d) If the $50-\mathrm{mm}$ lens is considered normal for this camera, what relative magnification does each of the other two lenses provide? The Sun has diameter $1.4 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{km},$ and it is $1.5 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{km}$ away.

Problem 88

(a) An object 34.5 $\mathrm{cm}$ in front of a certain lens is imaged 8.20 $\mathrm{cm}$ in front of that lens (on the same side as the object). What type of lens is this, and what is its focal length? Is the image real or virtual? (b) If the image were located, instead, 41.5 $\mathrm{cm}$ in front of the lens, what type of lens would it be and what focal length would it have?

Problem 89

When an object is placed 60.0 $\mathrm{cm}$ from a certain converging lens, it forms a real image. When the object is moved to 40.0 $\mathrm{cm}$ from the lens, the image moves 10.0 $\mathrm{cm}$ farther from the lens. Find the focal length of this lens.

Problem 90

A small object is 25.0 $\mathrm{cm}$ from a diverging lens as shown in Fig. $23-59 .$ A converging lens with a focal length of 12.0 $\mathrm{cm}$ is 30.0 $\mathrm{cm}$ to the right of the diverging lens. The two-lens system forms a real inverted image 17.0 $\mathrm{cm}$ to the right of the converging lens. What is the focal length of the diverging lens?

Problem 91

An object is placed 15 $\mathrm{cm}$ from a certain mirror. The image is half the size of the object, inverted, and real. How far is the image from the mirror, and what is the radius of curvature of the mirror?

Problem 92

(a) Show that the lens equation can be written in the Newtonian form
$$
x \cdot x^{\prime}=f^{2}
$$
where $x$ is the distance of the object from the focal point on the front side of the lens, and $x^{\prime}$ is the distance of the image to the focal point on the other side of the lens. Calculate the location of an image if the object is placed 45.0 $\mathrm{cm}$ in front of a convex lens with a focal length $f$ of 32.0 $\mathrm{cm}$ using $(b)$ the standard form of the thin lens equation, and $(c)$ the Newtonian form, stated above.

Problem 94

(a) Show that if two thin lenses of focal lengths $f_{1}$ and $f_{2}$ are placed in contact with each other, the focal length of the combination is given by $f_{\mathrm{T}}=f_{1} f_{2} /\left(f_{1}+f_{2}\right)$ . (b) Show that the power $P$ of the combination of two lenses is the sum of their separate powers, $P=P_{1}+P_{2}$
