Question
A classic 35 -mm film camera has a single thin lens having a $50.0-\mathrm{mm}$ focal length. A woman $1.7 \mathrm{m}$ tall stands $10.0 \mathrm{m}$ in front of the camera. (a) Show that the lens-film distance must be $50.3 \mathrm{mm}$. (b) How tall is her image on the film?
Step 1
Step 1: We start by using the thin lens equation, which is given by: \[ \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{s_o} + \frac{1}{s_i} \] where \(f\) is the focal length, \(s_o\) is the object distance, and \(s_i\) is the image distance. Show more…

A camera is supplied with two interchangeable lenses, whose focal lengths are 35.0 and 150.0 mm. A woman whose height is 1.60 m stands 9.00 m in front of the camera. What is the height (including sign) of her image on the image sensor, as produced by (a) the 35.0-mm lens and (b) the 150.0-mm lens?
A camera with a 50.0 $\mathrm{mm}$ focal length lens is being used to photograph a person standing 3.00 $\mathrm{m}$ away. (a) How far from the lens must the film be? (b) If the film is 36.0 $\mathrm{mm}$ high, what fraction of a 1.75 $\mathrm{m}$ tall person will fit on it? (c) Discuss how reasonable this seems, based on your experience in taking or posing for photographs.
Suppose your 50.0 $\mathrm{mm}$ focal length camera lens is 51.0 $\mathrm{mm}$ away from the film in the camera. (a) How far away is an object that is in focus? (b) What is the height of the object if its image is 2.00 $\mathrm{cm}$ high?
