Answer:
1.6m
Explanation:
To solve, we must use the equation: 1/f = 1/so + 1/si
f= focal point
so=object's distance
si=image's distance
We put in the numbers we have and we get: 1/f = 1/8.0 + 1/2.0.
1/f = 0.125 + 0.5 (changed the fractions to decimals)
1/f = 0.63 (0.625 rounded to the hundredths)
Now we solve for f:
1 = 0.63f
f = 1/0.63
f = 1.6
The focal length is 1.6m.
Hope this helped!
