An object is 16.0cm to the left of a lens. the lens forms an image 36.0cm to the right of the lens. part awhat is the focal length of the lens? part bis the lens converging or diverging? part cif the object is 8.00mm tall, how tall is the image? part dis it erect or inverted?

A) 11.0 cm

The focal length of the lens can be find by using the lens equation:

where

p = 16.0 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

q = 36.0 cm is the distance of the image from the lens (positive, because it is on the opposite side to the lens with respect to the object)

Substituting into the equation, we find

B) Converging

The sign convention for the lenses states that:

- For a converging lens, the focal length is positive

- For a diverging lens, the focal length is negative

In this case, the focal length is positive (+11.0 cm), so the lenses must be a converging lens.

C) -18.0 mm

We can solve this part of the problem by using the magnification equation:

where

is the heigth of the image

is the height of the object

is the distance of the image from the lens

is the distance of the object from the lens

Solving the equation for , we find

D) Inverted

For the sign convention, we have:

- if is positive, then the image is erect

- if is negative, then the image is upside-down (inverted)

In this case, is negative, therefore the image is inverted.

firearm identification is the process of analyzing the bullets and cartridge cases left at a crime scene to determine if they came from a particular firearm. marks on the bullets and cartridges may be common to every firearm of that type. these are called class characteristics.
