The diagram shows how a lens forms an image of an object. The grid has major grid lines every 1.0 cm and minor grid lines every 0.1 cm.

A ray diagram on a grid. A horizontal principal axis is shown. A vertical convex lens (indicated by double ended arrows) is at the center. The focal points F are located 3.0 cm on either side of the lens. A vertical object arrow of height 1.5 cm points upwards at 4.5 cm to the left of the lens. Two rays starting from the top of the object are drawn: one parallel to the axis refracting through the right-hand focal point F, and another straight through the center of the lens. They cross at 9.0 cm to the right of the lens, forming a downward-pointing inverted image of height 3.0 cm.

a.

What type of lens is represented in the diagram?

  • Concave
  • Convex
  • Diverging
[1]
b.

Using the grid, find the image height and the object height.

  • Image height = _____ cm\text{cm}cm
  • Object height = _____ cm\text{cm}cm
[2]
c.

Calculate the magnification produced by the lens using the formula: magnification=image heightobject height\text{magnification} = \frac{\text{image height}}{\text{object height}}magnification=object heightimage height​

[2]
d.

Which two words describe the image?

  • Diminished
  • Inverted
  • Real
  • Upright
  • Virtual
[2]
e.

The object was red. A student looked at the red object through a blue filter. Complete the sentences choosing from: black, blue, green, red, white.

  • Looking at the red object through a blue filter makes the object appear ________.
  • This is because the blue filter only transmits the light that is ________.
