Converging Lenses

If we think of a double convex lens as consisting of prisms, we can see how light going through it converges at a focal point (assuming the lens is properly shaped).

2

Diverging Lenses

A double concave lens can also be modeled by prisms:

Converging and Diverging Lenses

Terminology of ConvexLenses

Principal axis

Optic axis

Optical centre

Principal FocusSecondary Focus

Focal LengthFocal Length

In reality, light bends twice at the air / glass boundaries

On diagram, we show that light ray bends once: on the optic axis

Concave Lens Terminology

5

Concave Lens is diverging.The Principal focus is virtual, in front of the lens.

6

Principle Rays – Converging Lens

Lens has two focal points because light can go both ways and still focuses on one spot

Principle Rays – Converging Lens (Convex)

7

Incident Ray Reflected RayParallel to principal Axis Through the focal point

Through the focal point Parallel to principal Axis

On the vertex of the lens Goes straight through and does NOT change direction

8

Principle Rays – Diverging Lens

Concave lens also has secondary focus, behind the lens.On diagrams, light rays also bend on the optic axis.

Principle Rays – Diverging Lens (Concave)

Incident Ray Reflected RayParallel to principal Axis Through the focal point

Aiming the secondary focal point

Parallel to principal Axis

On the vertex of the lens Goes straight through and does NOT change direction

Ray Diagram - Converging Lens

Location of the image of an object located at 2F

11

Ray diagrams– Converging Lens

Location the image of an object located in front of F

12

Ray Diagram - Diverging Lens

Your turn: Locate the image of an object located between F and 2F for a diverging lens

13

Image Types – Convering Lens

The convex lens forms different image types depending on where the object is located with respect to the focal point

S size can be enlarged or reduced A attitude can be inverted or

upright L image can be infront or behind

the lens T image can be real or virtual

14

Image Types – Diverging Lens

The concave lens forms same type of image no matter where object is located:

S reduced A upright L in front of the lens T virtual

Virtual

Between F and 2F

Larger Inverted Opposite side beyond 2F

Real

At 2F Equal Inverted Opposite side at 2F

Real

Beyond 2F Smaller Inverted Opposite side between F and 2F

Real

As object moves away from convex lens, real image moves closer to lens

When object is located at F, no image is formed (verify with ray diagram)

Summary: Image Characteristics formed by Concave and Convex Lenses

16

The Thin-Lens Equation Sign Convention

Distances: positive for real negative for virtual

Heights : positive above axis negative below axis

17

The Thin-Lens Equation

do = the distance from the mirror to the object

di = the distance from the mirror to the image

f = the focal length

18

+Converging Lens(Convex)

Object is in front of mirror

Image is REAL

(opposite side of object)

-Diverging Lens(Concave)

N/A. do is always positive

Image is VIRTUAL(same side as object)

Sign conventions: LENS Equation

19

Magnification Equation for LENS

M

M

If |M| > 1, image is larger than object (enlarged)

If |M| < 1, image is smaller than object (reduced)

M > 0 for up-right images

M < 0 for inverted images
