An inexpensive magnifying glass mounted in a shoebox is used with a smartphone as a light source to project images on a wall in a darkened room.[*] Shown at right is a view of the enlarged, upright image of the smartphone inside the projector when looking through the magnifying glass. Discuss what adjustments must be made (if any) to the location and/or orientation of the smartphone in order to properly display an enlarged, upright image on a wall. Show your work and explain your reasoning by using the properties of lenses, thin lens equations and/or ray tracings. [*] content.photojojo.com/diy/turn-your-phone-into-a-photo-projector-for-1.
Solution and grading rubric:
- p:
Correct. Since the smartphone's upright, enlarged virtual image cannot be projected onto a wall, and in order to produce an "upright" image projected on a wall, the smartphone must instead be:- turned upside-down; and
- pushed further away from the magnifying glass (such that it is placed just outside the focal point).
- r:
Nearly correct, but includes minor math errors. Neglects to mention that the phone must be turned upside-down. - t:
Nearly correct, but approach has conceptual errors, and/or major/compounded math errors. - v:
Implementation of right ideas, but in an inconsistent, incomplete, or unorganized manner. May claim that the smartphone already projects an image onto a wall, or that only the magnifying glass to wall distance needs to be changed. - x:
Implementation of ideas, but credit given for effort rather than merit. No clear attempt at applying properties of lenses, thin lens equations, and ray tracings. - y:
Irrelevant discussion/effectively blank. - z:
Blank.
