Image from Thin Lens
Use distances with signs find image distance and magnification.
Your numbers
Image distance with direction sign
Paraxial thin lens inside air; positive image distance real, negative virtual. Aberrations and lens thickness no dey included.
Compare scenarios
You fit keep up to three snapshots for this tab. Loading one go replace the present inputs.
Formula
Use 1/f = 1/dₒ+1/dᵢ and m = −dᵢ/dₒ. f na focal length, dₒ na object distance, and dᵢ na image distance for di same unit. Converging focal length and real object distance dey positive; m na lateral magnification.
Use distances with signs find image distance and magnification.
Example wey show the calculation
- Focal length (cm); positive for converging lens
- 10
- Object distance (cm); positive for real object
- 30
- Image distance with direction sign
- 15 cm
- Magnification across the image
- -0.5
Where e fit work and limits
Paraxial thin lens inside air; positive image distance real, negative virtual. Aberrations and lens thickness no dey included.
We check inputs for missing values and allowed ranges. Result wey pass the finite numeric range no go show. Rounding affect wetin display, while calculation use the model numeric precision.
Check your units and assumptions before you rely on result. Changing label no convert currency or physical unit.
