Ray Tracing Practice For Thin Lens

The document provides worksheets for students to practice locating images formed by lenses and mirrors. It gives different object positions s relative to the focal length f of the lens or mirror. For each case, students are asked to draw the principal rays to locate the image and use the thin lens equations to calculate the image height y', position s', and whether it is real or virtual, upright or inverted.

Diverging & Converging LENS Worksheet

The same object (height = y) is placed at several different distances s to the left of the same lens (focal length = f).
For each case, draw the 3 principal rays to locate the image. Then use the “thin lens” equations to calculate:
• the image height y' (in terms of y) • whether the image is real or virtual
• the image distance from the lens s' (in terms of s and f) • whether the image is upright or inverted

s = 3f –f –f

s = 2f
