Lesson 9 Convex and Concave Lenses1

The document discusses the characteristics of convex and concave lenses, including how parallel rays interact with a convex lens and characteristic rays of concave lenses. It provides examples of ray diagrams showing the image location, size, and orientation for objects placed at various distances from converging lenses, both before and beyond the focal point. Practice problems are also included asking students to draw ray diagrams and determine image characteristics.

Practice:
1. Draw an accurate diagram of a 2 cm high object that is placed 2 cm before a convex lens of focal length 4 cm of the image and
write the SILT.

Height of image = ______________________


2. Draw an accurate ray diagram to show the image formed when a 1 cm high object is placed 2 cm before a concave lens of focal length
3 cm. Find the height of the image and write the SILT.
S

Height of image = ............................................

3. Concave lens or Convex lens? Draw the ray diagram in to find the image.
