1 Optical Instruments
The human eye is an organ in our body that helps us to see. Simple things
like watching a butterfly flutters its wings across the fields, the colors of rainbow
painted on the sky, or a child’s dress printed with colorful florals can add to the
fantastic experiences that enrich our lives immeasurably. But even how powerful the
eye is, it has still its own imperfections. It cannot see things, watch the objects behind
you, or the planets and stars. We need optical instruments to be able to see these
things. Lenses and mirrors are used to form images of objects that cannot be seen
with the human eye. In this lesson, we are going to identify ways in which the
properties of mirrors and lenses determine their use in optical instruments such as
the cameras and binoculars.
What’s In
Situation I.
Look at the view outside the window. Gaze your eyes over the grass field or
across the sea. If your house is in the middle of tall structures, you may opt to look
at night sky. Draw your observation inside the box below.
Questions to Ponder
1. What objects are found at a distance?
This time choose an object from a distant. This could be a tree, a house, or a star
or moon.
Optical instruments help people see objects that are too small or too far. It
can even produce magnified or reduced images of objects. Optical instruments use
two or more lenses, mirrors or combination of both to meet the needs of the observer.
The right combination of lenses will be able to help you see viruses, bacteria or other
organisms that are too small to be seen by the naked human eye.
What is It
The following are some optical instruments, their uses and functions.
In Figure 1a, the red beetle is between the focus and the lens. The rays
reflected from the beetle are refracted by the magnifying glass and enter the person’s
eye. In Figure 1b, you see how the eye sees a virtual image of the beetle which is
bigger than its actual size. The more curved the convex lens is in a magnifying
glass, the greater its magnifying power.
Also, when parallel light rays hit a Figure 2. Magnifying glass creates a

one focal point. This is what the scouts do International
when they starting a fire, remember?
A compound microscope consists of a combination of lenses for
magnifying an object several hundred times. It uses two
converging lenses with short focal lengths. The lens near the object
is the objective lens, while the one nearer the eye is the eyepiece.
The objective lens forms a real and enlarged inverted image. The
eyepiece, on the other hand, forms a further enlarged, erect, but
virtual final image.
When you press the button to take a photograph with a digital camera, an
aperture opens at the front of the camera and light streams in through the lens.
However, there is no film in a digital camera. Instead, there is a piece of electronic
equipment that captures the incoming light rays and turns them into electrical
signals. This light detector is one of two types, either a charge-coupled device (CCD)
or a CMOS image sensor. Light from the object you are capturing gets reflected into
the camera lens. This incoming "picture" hits the image sensor chip, which breaks it
up into millions of pixels. The sensor measures the color and brightness of each pixel
and stores it as a number. Your digital photograph is effectively an enormously long
string of numbers describing the exact details of each pixel it contains.

The human eye and a camera are similar in the way they operate. Both capture
the image using the same principles. Both possess components to regulate the
amount of light incident to it. Both can focus the light and capture the image.
However, the two are different in a number of ways. Refer to Figure 4 and the
succeeding table to learn about how the human eye can be compared to a film
camera.
Camera Part Eye Part Description/ Function
Film Retina Light sensitive screen that retains the
image
Diaphragm Iris Controls the amount of light entering
by reducing the opening
Aperture Pupil Merely an opening; a portion in the
middle of the instrument that
appears black since no light is exiting
from it
Lens Cornea & Lens Focuses the image
Black Paint Choroid Reduces internal reflection
What’s More
Pinhole camera is the earliest form of cameras. It works by letting the light
travel through a small hole in a dark box to form a picture on the other side of the
camera. This is the foundation of the cameras we have today.
Task: Construct a pinhole camera and explain the factors that affect image formed
Materials:
empty milk can (370 mL) black construction paper nail
glue hammer wax paper
Procedure:
1. Get a milk can and clean it. Make a tiny hole in the center of its bottom with
a nail and hammer.
2. Make a tube out of the black construction paper. The tube must fit into the
can. Cover the other end of the tube with a wax paper.
3. Point the pinhole to a distant object such as a tree or an electrical post.
Observe the image formed on the wax paper. You can move the tube back and
forth to get a clearer image.
Activity adapted from Module 4 Optical Instrument Project EASE pp. 7-8.
Task: Construct a periscope and explain the factors that affect image formed
Materials:

This time, my dear learner, let us apply what you have learned into real life
situations. This will be done for you to appreciate the lesson as it finds relevance in
our existence here on earth.
Let’s Go!
Optical devices holds a promising future in the era of digital technology. One
of this is the use of optical fiber. The following is an excerpt from an article entitled
Optical Fiber Communication: telecommunications from https://www.electronics-
notes.com/articles/connectivity/fibre-optics/optical-fibre-telecommunications-
basics.php.
Since the earliest days of telecommunications there has been an ever
increasing need to transmit more data even faster. Initially single line wires
were used. These gave way to coaxial cables that enabled several channels to
transmit over the same cable. However, these systems were limited in
bandwidth and optical systems were investigated.
Optical communications became a possibility after the first lasers were
developed in the 1960s. The next piece of the jigsaw fell into place when the
first optical fibers with a sufficiently low loss for communications purposes
were developed in the 1970s. Then, during the late 1970s a considerable
amount of research was undertaken. This resulted in the installation of the
first optical fiber telecommunications system. It ran over a distance of 45 km
and used a wavelength of 0.5 mm and had a data rate of just 45 Mbps - a
fraction of what is possible today.
Since then, considerable improvements have been made in the
technology. Data rates have improved and in addition to this the performance
of the optical fiber has been improved to enable much greater distances to be
achieved between repeaters. As an indication of this the speeds that can now
be achieved along through a fiber optic system exceed 10 Tbps (Terabyte per
second).
When the first fiber optic transmission systems were being developed,
it was thought that the fiber optic cabling and technology would be
prohibitively expensive. However, this has not been the case and costs have
fallen to the extent that fiber optics now provides the only viable option for
many telecommunications applications. In addition to this it is also used in
many local area networks where speed is a major requirement.
