What type of image is formed by a lens if m = 3.0?
a. a virtual image that is smaller than the object
b. a virtual image that is larger than the object
c. a real image that is larger than the object
d. a real image that is smaller than the object

B.A virtual image that is larger than the object

Explanation:

The magnification of a lens is given by

(1)

where

is the size of the image

is the size of the object

is the distance of the image from the lens

is the distance of the object from the lens

Some considerations:

are always taken as positive

if , the image is larger than the object, otherwise it is smaller

if , the image is real, otherwise it is virtual

In this situation, we have M = 3.0 (positive number and larger than 1). Looking at eq.(1), this implies:

1) --> image is larger than the object

2) --> the image is virtual

So, the correct choice is

B.A virtual image that is larger 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
