An object is placed to the left of a converging lens. Which of the following statements are true, and which are false?

The image is always to the right of the lens.
The image can be upright or inverted.
The image is always smaller or the same size as the object.

Answer:

The image is always to the right of the lens. i beleve is the answer

Explanation:

The constructor's equation allows to find the correct answer for the characteristics of the image is:

  • The image can be upright or inverted.

Geometric optics describes the formation of images in lenses and mirrors, using the constructor's equation.

        [tex]\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}[/tex]

       

Where f is the focal length, p and q the distance to the object and to the image, respectively.

In converging lenses the focal length is positive.

The distance to the image is

       [tex]\frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{f } - \frac{1}{p}[/tex]  

       [tex]q = \frac{qf}{p -f}[/tex]  

let's analyze this expression:

  • If p> f the position to the image is positive, located on the other side of the lens.
  • If p <f the distance to the image is negative, it is located on the same side of the object.

Let's analyze the claims:

a) False. Depending on the relationship between the distance to the object and the focal length, the image is on the right or left.

b) true. If the distance to the object is greater than the focal length the image is inverted, otherwise the right.

c) False. When the object approaches the focal length the image is larger than the object.

In conclusion using the constructor's equation  we can find the correct answers for the characteristics of the image are:

  • The image can be upright or inverted.
