    1) The document discusses light refraction through a convex lens and its applications. It covers the basic terminology and construction rules for drawing ray diagrams of convex lenses. 2) Six special cases are examined for different object positions relative to the focal length, and the characteristics of the corresponding images are described. 3) Common applications of convex lenses include cameras and magnifying glasses, which form magnified virtual images.

    Light rays passing through two prisms

    In what way do the The light rays converge light rays pass through after passing through the prisms!! prisms? the

    The light rays converge!!

    AGAIN!!! The light rays also converge to the same point!

    Will the light rays still converge if we continue to cut the prisms?

    YES NO

    Terminology of Convex lens


    f = focal length (FC)
    f

    F: Focus

    f = focal length (FC) Principal axis


    C: Optical Center Principal axis
    F: Focus
    C F

    Convex lens

    F: Focus C: Optical Center

    Convex lens Construction Rules


    straight refracted The light ray through the Optical focus F Center Cispasses is refracted parallel to the parallel to the principal axis throughthe the lens. F. through focus principal axis.

    F Now, we are going to find the image of an object formed by a convex lens by using these rules.

    Classwork
    Answer

    By using the three construction rules of convex lens, draw a ray diagram of an object with object distance u = 15 cm. (Assume the focal length of the convex lens is 10 cm.) Can you find the image distance?

    Converging Lens Simulation

    Case 1: Object distance >2f


    When the object distance is larger than 2f , do you know the image Object position? Image
    2F 2F

    Descriptions of the image: Object distance >2f


    Erect / Inverted Virtual / Real Magnified / Diminished / Same as the object Position of image:
    Between the position of F and 2F on the other side of the object.

    Case 2: Object distance = 2f

    Object
    2F 2F

    Image

    Descriptions of the image: Object distance = 2f


    Erect / Inverted Virtual / Real Magnified / Diminished / Same as the object Position of image:

    At the position of 2F on the other side of the object.

    Case 3: Object distance between f and 2f

    Object
    Image
    2F 2F

    Descriptions of the image: Object distance between f and 2f


    Erect / Inverted Virtual / Real Magnified / Diminished / Same as the object Position of image:

    Image distance > 2f on the other side of the object.

    Case 4: Object distance = f


    Where is the image? Object
    2F 2F

    Descriptions of the image: Object distance = f


    Position of image: Image forms at infinity.

    Case 5: Object distance < f

    Descriptions of the image: Object distance < f


    Erect / Inverted Virtual / Real Magnified / Diminished / Same as the object Position of image:
    On the same side of the object.

    Case 6: Very large object at infinity


    For a very large image at infinity:
    Convex lens

    The light rays are nearly parallel to each other!

    Case 6: Very large object at infinity


    Do you know Remember how parallel the light rays construction are refracted? rules of convex lens.
