Answer: D. 5cm

Explanation:

Given the following :

Focal length (f) = - 6.0 cm

Height of object = 15.0cm

Distance of object from mirror (u) = 12.0cm

Height of image produced by the mirror =?

Firstly, we calculate the distance of the image from the mirror.

Using the mirror formula

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

1/v = 1/-6 - 1/12

1/v = - 1/6 - 1/12

1/v = (- 2 - 1) / 12

1/v = - 3 / 12

v = 12 / - 3

v = - 4

Using the relation :

(Image height / object height) = (- image distance / object distance)

Image height / 15 = - (-4) / 12

Image height / 15 = 4 / 12

Image height = (15 × 4) / 12

Image height = 60 / 12

Image height = 5cm

A "biconvex" lens is one in which both surfaces of the lens bulge outwards. Suppose you had a biconvex lens with radii of curvat
Stolb23 [73]

Answer: f=150cm in water and f=60cm in air.

Explanation: Focal length is a measurement of how strong light is converged or diverged by a system. To find the variable, it can be used the formula:

\frac{1}{f} = (nglass - ni)(\frac{1}{R1} - \frac{1}{R2}).

nglass is the index of refraction of the glass;

ni is the index of refraction of the medium you want, water in this case;

R1 is the curvature through which light enters the lens;

R2 is the curvature of the surface which it exits the lens;

Substituting and calculating for water (nwater = 1.3):

\frac{1}{f} = (1.5 - 1.3)(\frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{15})

\frac{1}{f} = 0.2(\frac{1}{30})

f = \frac{30}{0.2} = 150

For air (nair = 1):

\frac{1}{f} = (1.5 - 1)(\frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{15})

f = \frac{30}{0.5} = 60

In water, the focal length of the lens is f = 150cm.

In air, f = 60cm.
