PLEASE HELP FAST The object distance for a convex lens is 15.0 cm, and the image distance is 5.0 cm. The height of the object is 9.0 cm. What is the height of the image?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The image height is 3.0 cm

Explanation:

Given;

object distance, [tex]d_o[/tex] = 15.0 cm

image distance, [tex]d_i[/tex] = 5.0 cm

height of the object, [tex]h_o[/tex] = 9.0 cm

height of the image, [tex]h_i[/tex] = ?

Apply lens equation;

[tex]\frac{h_i}{h_o} = -\frac{d_i}{d_o}\\\\ h_i = h_o(-\frac{d_i}{d_o})\\\\h_i = -9(\frac{5}{15} )\\\\h_i = -3 \ cm[/tex]

Therefore, the image height is 3.0 cm. The negative values for image height indicate that the image is an inverted image.
