Answer» Answer: 1.1 cm and -10.7 cm is the correct answer. LIGHT bulb's image position = 1.1cm Diameter of light bulb = -10.7cm Explanation: Given data : Focal length = 13 cm diameter = 6 cm Height = 60cm To find: light bulb's image position and diameter Solution 1/f = 1/d1 + 1/d2 1/d1 = 1/f - 1/d2 = 1/(-13) - 1/ 60 = -0. 0769 - 0.0166 = -10 cm
We know that, h2/h1 = - d1/d2 h2 = -d1*h1/d2 = -10.7*6/60 = -64. 2/60 = 1.07cm =1.1 cm Hence, 1.1 cm and -10.7 cm is the correct answer. light bulb's image position = 1.1cm Diameter of light bulb = -10.7cm |
