10. An object that is $8.5 \mathrm{~cm}$ high is placed $28.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ in front of a converging lens that has a focal length of $12 \mathrm{~cm}$.
a) Calculate the image distance (di). Show your work.
[Ans: $d i=21 \mathrm{~cm}$ ]
b) Calculate the image height (hi). Show your work.
$[\mathrm{Ans}: \mathrm{hi}=-6.4 \mathrm{~cm}]$
c) Calculate the image magnification (M). Show your work.
d) Is the image a real or virtual image? Explain.
e) Is the image an upright or inverted image? Explain.
The image is inverted because the image height is negative.
Step 1 :\( \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{d_o} + \frac{1}{d_i} \)
Step 2 :\( \frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{28} + \frac{1}{d_i} \)
Step 3 :\( \frac{1}{d_i} = \frac{1}{12} - \frac{1}{28} \)
Step 4 :\( d_i = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{12} - \frac{1}{28}} \)
Step 5 :\( d_i = \boxed{21} \mathrm{cm} \)
Step 6 :\( M = \frac{h_i}{h_o} = \frac{d_i}{d_o} \)
Step 7 :\( h_i = M \cdot h_o \)
Step 8 :\( h_i = \frac{21}{28} \cdot 8.5 \)
Step 9 :\( h_i = \boxed{-6.4} \mathrm{cm} \)
Step 10 :\( M = \frac{-6.4}{8.5} \)
Step 11 :\( M = \boxed{-0.75} \)
Step 12 :The image is real because the image distance is positive.
Step 13 :The image is inverted because the image height is negative.
