 What I Need to Know

Hi! How have you been? Are you excited to learn something for today? Well,
we shall continue exploring the world of light. In previous module, you already
understand the use of laws of reflection and refraction in order to describe and
explain how images are formed by mirrors and lenses. Now it is time to apply these
ideas to some common optical lenses and to show how such devices work. In this
module you will be able to identify ways in which the properties of mirrors and lenses
determine their use in optical instruments such as camera and binoculars. The
lessons are arranged to follow the content standards of the Science 10 curriculum
guide with their corresponding learning competencies.

Most Essential Learning Competencies

Objectives: At the end of the activity, you should be able to:

a. Construct a pinhole camera and explain the factors that affect the image on the

- tape or paste
-wax paper/ aluminum foil, about 14 cm2
Procedure:
1. Get a milk can and remove its cover. Make a tiny hole in the center of its bottom
using a small nail and hammer. (Figure 3a)
2. Make a tiny tube out of the black cartolina. The tube must fit into the can. Cover
one end of the tube with wax paper/ aluminum foil. (Figure 3b)
3. Slide the covered end of the black tube into the can. You now have a pinhole
camera. (Figure 4)
4. Point the pinhole to a distant object such as a building or tree. View this object
through the open end of the black tube. Move the tube to get a clearer view of the
object on the wax paper. The wax paper serves as the screen for the camera.

What’s More

ACTIVITY 4: PROPERTIES OF MIRRORS AND LENSES USED IN OPTICAL

INSTRUMENTS
Adapted from: Project EASE (Effective Alternative Secondary Education) Physics Module 4 (Optical Instruments)

The real camera has a lens instead of a pinhole and uses a film for a screen
instead of a wax paper. The basic elements of a camera are, namely: a converging
lens, a light sensitive film to record an image, and a shutter to let the light from the
lens strike the film. The lens forms an inverted, real and smaller image in the film.

Figure 6. The formation of an image in a camera.

8
 When the camera is in proper focus, the position of the film coincides with
the position of the real image formed by the lens. With a converging lens, the image
distance increases as the object distance decreases. Hence in focusing the camera,
the lens is moved closer to the film for a distant object and farther from the film for
a nearby object. Often, this is done by turning the lens in a threaded mount.

Know This:
A camera is similar to a human eye in several aspects. The shutter of a camera
excludes unnecessary light just as the eyelids do. The diaphragm regulates the
amount of light that enters the camera through the aperture just as the iris regulates
the amount of light that enters the eye through the pupil. In the dark, the pupil
dilates, while it constricts in bright light. A camera has a simple converging lens or a
system of lenses which forms images by refraction just like the lens of a human eye.
The light sensitive film inside a camera corresponds to the light sensitive retina in the
back of the eye, and both receive an inverted, real image that is smaller than the
object.
In a camera, the lens is adjusted to form a sharp image, while our eyes have the
power of accommodation to see near and distant objects. The camera gives a
permanent image of the object, while the image in the eye lasts for only about 1/16
of a second before another distinct image is formed.

Most optical instruments are made up of a lens or an arrangement or

combination of lenses. The function of the optical systems is determined by the focal
lengths of the lenses and their relative positions.
A telescope is used to make distant objects look closer and appear bigger. It
consists of two converging lenses: the objective lens with a long focal length and the
eyepiece lens with a short focal length. The objective lens is used to collect light from
a distant object and to form the first image. The eyepiece lens is a magnifying lens
which produces a final virtual image at a distance.
The optical system of a telescope is similar to that of a compound microscope.
In both instruments, the image formed by an objective lens is viewed through an
eyepiece. The key difference is that the telescope is used to view large objects at large
distances and the microscope is used to view small objects at a very close distance.
An astronomical telescope is a telescope that uses lens as an objective. It is called a
refracting telescope. In the reflecting telescope the objective lens is replaced by a
concave mirror. This is because large perfect lenses are more difficult to make than
large mirrors.

Optical Picture Functions

Instruments
Magnifying Is a single positive lens that will add
glass convergence to the visual system. As an object
is brought near the eye, the retinal image
increases in size. There is a limit to this
increase in size, however, in the sense that at
a very short distance between the eye and the
object, the rays will diverge so much that a
magnifying lens becomes necessary. The main
function of a magnifying glass is to provide an
image of an object that is bigger than that seen
by the naked eye.

Compound Consists of a combination of lenses for

Microscope 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.

Binoculars Consist of a pair of telescopes mounted

together, each having an objective lens and an
eyepiece. The image formed by the objective
lens of binoculars is upside-down, and the left
and right sides are reversed. Binoculars use a
system of prisms to switch the image left to
right and right to left. Then the eyepieces
create enlarged, virtual, upright images.

Endoscope Is a long flexible tube that is inserted in the

body so that a doctor can observe internal
passages such as a person’s esophagus or
intestine. It has a converging lens and
bunches of optical fibers that convey the
image to the end of the tube, where the image
can be observed through a computer monitor
or screen. An endoscope uses the concept of
total internal reflection.

Spectrometer Uses the principle of diffraction to create a

spectrum of colors emitted by a light source.
This aids scientists and engineers in
identifying different substances.

10
 Overhead Has a mirror, which focuses light from an
Projector intense source onto a pair of converging
lenses. These lenses direct the light through
the slide to a projection lens. The lens is
mounted on a sliding tube so that it can be
adjusted to be able to focus the real image on
the screen.

Periscope Is an optical device consisting of a tube

attached to a set of mirrors or prisms, through
which an observer (typically in a submerged
submarine or behind a high obstacle) can see
things that are otherwise out of sight.

Interferometer Is an optical device that uses the concepts of

diffraction and interference to make precise
measurements of very small distances. It can
also be used to measure changes in the index
of refraction.

ACTIVITY 6: PHOTO-ESSAY
Objective:
1. Apply contents learned in mirrors and lenses in photography.

Direction: Using a camera, capture 5 or more photos and arrange it in a ¼

13
Judging Criteria for Photo-Essay
Adopted from: http://projects.kydataseam.com/photojournalism/CommunDetails_files/photoessayrubric.pdf

Creativity is the original, fresh, and external expression of the imagination of the maker
by using the medium to convey an idea, message or thought. Compelling Essay's evoke
laughter, sadness, anger, pride, wonder or another intense emotion. The use and control
of light to create dimension, shape and roundness in an image or the way the creator
uses words to express thoughts and emotions can be considered.
Storytelling refers to the Essay's ability to evoke imagination, create a feeling, tell a
story, or visually illustrate an idea. The images should tell the story in a visual way
creating interest by capturing the moment. Images can better illustrate the story and
keep the viewer’s interest with variety, angles, lighting, color, etc.
Writing should be creative using proper technique and mechanics. The writing should
evoke the emotion and wonder of the reader leaving them to want more by the time
they reach the end. Does the story have a conflict, a climax, and an end?
Photography includes impact, creativity, technical excellence, composition, lighting,
style, color and storytelling. The photos should provide variety, interesting angles,
imagination, and properly illustrate the story being told.
