Question
Use a ray diagram to find the location and magnification of the image of an object located three focal lengths from a converging lens.
Step 1
We place the object three focal lengths away from the lens. We draw three rays: one parallel to the axis which refracts through the focal point on the other side of the lens, one through the center of the lens which continues straight, and one through the focal Show more…
