A 142 cm tall person stands
250 cm from a camera, which has
a 15.0 cm focal length lens. How
big is the image of the person on
the film?
(Mind your minus signs.)
(Unit = cm)​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Height of the image is 9.06 cm

Explanation:

As we know that the person is standing 250 cm from the lens

Now we know that the focal length of the lens is

f = 15 cm

now by lens formula we have

[tex]\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{15} = \frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{250}[/tex]

[tex]d_i = 15.96 cm[/tex]

now we know by the formula of magnification

[tex]\frac{h_i}{h_o} = \frac{15.96}{250}[/tex]

now we have

[tex]h_o = 142 cm[/tex]

[tex]h_i = 142\times \frac{15.96}{250}[/tex]

[tex]h_i = 9.06 cm[/tex]
