Telephoto lens. Use the formula 1/F=1/O + 1/I to find the image distance I for an object that is 2,000,000 mm from 250 mm telephoto lens.
\n" ); document.write( "F=250 mm
\n" ); document.write( "0=2,000,000
\n" ); document.write( "It's often easier to solve the formula for the value you want and then plug in your values.
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2FF=1%2FO%2B1%2FI\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2FF-1%2FO=-1%2FO%2B1%2FO%2B1%2FI\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2FF-1%2FO=1%2FI\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"O%2FFO-F%2FFO=1%2FI\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28O-F%29%2FFO=1%2FI\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%28O-F%29%2FFO%29%5E%28-1%29=%281%2FI%29%5E-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"FO%2F%28O-F%29=I%2F1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"I=FO%2F%28O-F%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Plug in your values:
\n" ); document.write( "\"I=%28250%29%282000000%29%2F%282000000-250%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"I=%28500000000%2F1999750%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"I=250.0312539\"
\n" ); document.write( "I=250 mm after you round off to sig. figs.
\n" ); document.write( ":\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, if you think about it, your ariginal formula was:
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2FF=1%2FO%2B1%2FI\" 2,000,000 is aproaching infinity, so 1/2,000,000 is very close to 0.
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2FF=0%2B1%2FI\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"F=I\" which is what we ended up with.
\n" ); document.write( "Happy Calculating!!!
\n" ); document.write( "
