Question

That type of lens must be used to produce an image that can be projected on a screen?

A. The lens must be diverging, and the object must be at a distance between the focal length and the lens.
B. The lens must be diverging, and the object must be farther than twice the focal length.
C. The lens must be converging, and the object must be at a distance between the focal length and the lens.
D. The lens must be converging, and the object must be at a distance greater than the focal length.

Answer 1

@roadjester help me? :((

Answer 2

guys i have like less than 10 minutes to do this problem, can someone please help me, it's really urgent!!!

Answer 3

I believe it's converging, as you need the light rays scattered off of an object to converge at a focal point so that it is one clear point on a screen.

I'm not sure about which option it is. Do you follow that?

Answer 4

Diverging lenses can only make "virtual images," I think.

Answer 5

I don't know about D, but C makes it seem like you want the object between the lens and screen. How does that sound to you?

Answer 6

the answer wasn't C, unfortunately :/ @theEric

Answer 7

I'm sorry... I didn't mean to mislead you!

"C makes it seem like you want the object between the lens and screen"
You don't want the object between the lens and screen! That doesn't make too much sense.
You want the object on the other side of the lens.

So do you know what it was? Was it D? I still don't know for sure why D was worded that way. I haven't taken optics.
