Question 18
a.

What is the term used to describe the point on the principal axis where rays of light parallel to the axis converge (or from which they appear to diverge) after passing through a lens?

[1]
b.

Lenses can form either real or virtual images. State one difference between a real image and a virtual image.

[1]
c.

A microelectronics engineer uses a high-precision reduction lens to project a circuit pattern from a photomask onto a silicon wafer.

  • The height of the image formed on the wafer is 1.8 mm.
  • The magnification produced by the reduction lens is 0.060.

Calculate the actual height of the circuit pattern on the photomask (the object). Use the equation:

magnification=image heightobject height \text{magnification} = \frac{\text{image height}}{\text{object height}} magnification=object heightimage height​
