Physics 205B Quiz 2, spring semester 2012
Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo, CA
Placing an object __________ to the left of a converging lens would produce a real image with the greatest magnification.
(A) out at ∞.
(B) just outside the focal length.
(C) just inside the focal length.
(D) almost next to the lens.
Correct answer: (B)
In order to produce a real image from a converging lens, an object should be placed at a distance anywhere from +f < p < +∞. As linear magnification m = -q/p = f/(f - p), the greatest magnified real image will result in the limit where p -> f.
Response (C) would result in a virtual image with the greatest magnification.
