An object is located 50 cm from a converging lens having a focal length of 15 cm. which of the following is true regarding the image formed by the lens?

it is virtual, inverted, and smaller than the object.
it is real, inverted, and larger than the object.
it is real, upright, and larger than the object.
it is virtual, upright, and larger than the object.
it is real, inverted, and smaller than the object.

It is real, inverted, and smaller than the object.

Explanation:

Let's start by using the lens equation to find the location of the image:

where we have:

q = ? is the distance of the image from the lens

f = 15 cm is the focal length (positive for a converging lens)

p = 50 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

Solving the equation for q, we find

The sign of q is positive, so the image is real.

Now let's also write the magnification equation:

where  

are the size of the image and of the object

By substituting p = 50 cm and q = 21.3 cm, we find

So we notice that:

: this means that the image is smaller than the object

: this means that the image is inverted

so, the correct option is:

It is real, inverted, and smaller than the object.

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it
