An insect 5.25 mm tall is placed 25.0 cm to the left of a thin planoconvex lens. the left surface of this lens is flat, the right surface has a radius of curvature of magnitude 12.5 cm , and the index of refraction of the lens material is 1.70. a)calculate the location and size of the image this lens forms of the insect. is it real or virtual? erect or inverted?
b)repeat part (a) if the lens is reversed

(A) therefore the image is

63 cm to the right of the lensthe image size is -13.22 cmit is realit is inverted

(B) therefore the image is

63 cm to the right of the lensthe image size is -13.22 cmit is realit 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

$\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{s'} +\frac{1}{s}$ where

s' = distance of the imagef = focal lengthbut we first need to find the focal length before we can apply this formula

$\frac{1}{f} =(n-1)(\frac{1}{R1} -\frac{1}{R2} )$

$\frac{1}{f} =(1.7-1)(\frac{1}{∞} -\frac{1}{-12.5} )$

$\frac{1}{f} =(0.7)(0 + \frac{1}{12.5} )$

$\frac{1}{f} =\frac{0.7}{12.5}$

f = $\frac{12.5}{0.7}$

f = 17.9 cm

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

$\frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{s}$ =\frac{1}{s'}

$\frac{1}{17.9} - \frac{1}{25}$ =\frac{1}{s'}

$\frac{25 - 17.9}{17.9 x 25} =\frac{1}{s'}$

$\frac{7.1}{447.5} =\frac{1}{s'}$

s' = \frac{447.5}{7.1}[/tex] = 63 cm to the right of the lens

magnification = $\frac{-s'}{s} =\frac{y'}{y}$ where y' is the height of the image, therefore

$\frac{-s'}{s} =\frac{y'}{y}$

$\frac{-63}{25} =\frac{y'}{52.5}$

y' = $\frac{-63}{25}$ x 0.525 = -13.22 cm

therefore the image is

63 cm to the right of the lensthe image size is -13.22 cmit is realit 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

$\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{s'} +\frac{1}{s}$ where

s' = distance of the imagef = focal lengthbut we first need to find the focal length before we can apply this formula

$\frac{1}{f} =(n-1)(\frac{1}{R1} -\frac{1}{R2} )$

$\frac{1}{f} =(1.7-1)(\frac{1}{12.5} -\frac{1}{∞} )$

$\frac{1}{f} =(0.7)( \frac{1}{12.5} - 0)$

$\frac{1}{f} =\frac{0.7}{12.5}$

f = $\frac{12.5}{0.7}$

f = 17.9 cm

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

$\frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{s}$ =\frac{1}{s'}

$\frac{1}{17.9} - \frac{1}{25}$ =\frac{1}{s'}

$\frac{25 - 17.9}{17.9 x 25} =\frac{1}{s'}$

$\frac{7.1}{447.5} =\frac{1}{s'}$

s' = \frac{447.5}{7.1}[/tex] = 63 cm to the right of the lens

magnification = $\frac{-s'}{s} =\frac{y'}{y}$ where y' is the height of the image, therefore

$\frac{-s'}{s} =\frac{y'}{y}$

$\frac{-63}{25} =\frac{y'}{52.5}$

y' = $\frac{-63}{25}$ x 0.525 = -13.22 cm

therefore the image is

63 cm to the right of the lensthe image size is -13.22 cmit is realit is inverted

As part of an industrial process, air as an ideal gas at 10 bar, 400k expands at steady state through a valve to a pressure of 4 bar. the mass flow rate of air is 0.5 kg/s. the air then passes through a heat exchanger where it is cooled to a temperature of 295k with negligible change in pressure. the valve can be modeled as a throttling process, and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. (a) for a control volume enclosing the valve and heat exchanger and enough of the local surroundings that the heat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature of 295 k, determine the rate of entropy production, in kw/k. (b) if the expansion valve were replaced by an adiabatic turbine operating isentropically, what would be the entropy production? compare the results of parts (a) and (b) and discuss.
