Answer:
(A) therefore the image is
- 63 cm to the right of the lens
- the image size is -13.22 cm
- it is real
- it is inverted
(B) therefore the image is
- 63 cm to the right of the lens
- the image size is -13.22 cm
- it is real
- it is inverted
Explanation:
height of the insect (h) = 5.25 mm = 0.525 cm
distance of the insect (s) = 25 cm
radius of curvature of the flat left surface (R1) = ∞
radius of curvature of the right surface (R2) = -12.5 cm (because it is a planoconvex lens with the radius in the direction of the incident rays)
index of refraction (n) = 1.7
(A) we can find the location of the image by applying the formula below
  where
 where
- s' = distance of the image
- f = focal length
- but we first need to find the focal length before we can apply this formula




 f = 
f = 17.9 cm
now that we have the focal length we can apply 
 =\frac{1}{s'}
 =\frac{1}{s'} 
 =\frac{1}{s'}
 =\frac{1}{s'} 


s' = \frac{447.5}{7.1}[/tex]  = 63 cm to the right of the lens
magnification = where y' is the height of the image, therefore
   where y' is the height of the image, therefore
 
 
 
 
y' =  x 0.525 = -13.22 cm
 x 0.525 = -13.22 cm
therefore the image is
- 63 cm to the right of the lens
- the image size is -13.22 cm
- it is real
- it is inverted
(B) if the lens is reversed, the radius of curvatures would be interchanged
 radius of curvature of the flat left surface (R1) = ∞
radius of curvature of the right surface (R2) = 12.5 cm 
we can find the location of the image by applying the formula below
  where
 where
- s' = distance of the image
- f = focal length
- but we first need to find the focal length before we can apply this formula




 f = 
f = 17.9 cm
now that we have the focal length we can apply 
 =\frac{1}{s'}
 =\frac{1}{s'} 
 =\frac{1}{s'}
 =\frac{1}{s'} 


s' = \frac{447.5}{7.1}[/tex]  = 63 cm to the right of the lens
magnification = where y' is the height of the image, therefore
   where y' is the height of the image, therefore
 
 
 
 
y' =  x 0.525 = -13.22 cm
 x 0.525 = -13.22 cm
therefore the image is
- 63 cm to the right of the lens
- the image size is -13.22 cm
- it is real
- it is inverted
