A camera with a 50.0-mm focal length lens is being used to photograph a person standing 3.00 m away. (a) How far from the lens m

ust the film be? (b) If the film is 36.0 mm high, what fraction of a 1.75-m-tall person will fit on it? (c) Discuss how reasonable this seems, based on your experience in taking or posing for photographs.

a) 50.8 mm

b) The whole image (1:1)

c) It seems reasonable

Explanation:

a)

To project the image on the film, the distance of the film from the lens must be equal to the distance of the image from the lens. This can be found by using the lens equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}

where

f is the focal length of the lens

p is the distance of the object from the lens

q is the distance of the image from the lens

In this problem:

f = 50.0 mm = 0.050 m is the focal length (positive for a convex lens)

p = 3.00 m is the distance of the person from the lens

Therefore, we can find q:

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{0.050}-\frac{1}{3.00}=19.667m^{-1}\\q=\frac{1}{19.667}=0.051 m=50.8 mm

b)

Here we need to find the height of the image first.

This can be done by using the magnification equation:

\frac{y'}{y}=-\frac{q}{p}

where:

y' is the height of the image

y = 1.75 m is the height of the real person

q = 50.8 mm = 0.0508 m is the distance of the image from the lens

p = 3.00 m is the distance of the person from the lens

Solving for y', we find:

y'=-\frac{qy}{p}=-\frac{(0.0508)(1.75)}{3.00}=-0.0296 m=-29.6mm

(the negative sign means the image is inverted)

Therefore, the size of the image (29.6 mm) is smaller than the size of the film (36.0 mm), so the whole image can fit into the film.

c)

This seems reasonable: in fact, with a 50.0 mm focal length, if we try to take the picture of a person at a distance of 3.00 m, we are able to capture the whole image of the person in the photo.

In which city did the wright brothers take off on their very first flight
Nezavi [6.7K]
<h2>Answer: Kitty Hawk, North Carolina </h2>

The Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orville, were pioneers of aviation, since they flew in a device heavier than air, which was inconceivable at that time.

Their first successful flight was on December 17th, 1903 in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, which lasted only 12 seconds in which their plane (the Flyer I, with 341 kg, 6.4 m long and a wingspan of 12.3 m) traveled 37 m without touching the ground. This was achieved through the help of an external catapult that "threw" them into the air.

It should be noted that the Wright brothers only studied until high school, however, their passion for solving the problem of the human inability to fly, their perseverance and experience acquired over the years in their bicycle company, led them to reach that goal. An achievement that marked the beginning of the  aviation era.
