Lenses: Physics Mr. Berman

This document discusses lenses and their properties. It describes two basic types of lenses - convex and concave lenses. Convex lenses are thicker in the middle and can produce real or virtual images. Concave lenses are thinner in the middle and always produce virtual, upright, and reduced images. The document provides ray diagrams and equations to describe the image formation properties of lenses.

Rules for Ray Diagrams for
Convex Lens
• A parallel ray refracts through the focal
point.

• A ray through the center of the lens


continues straight.

• A ray coming through the focal point,


refracts parallel to the principal axis.

Summary for Convex Lens
When the object is: Then the image is:
• Beyond 2F • Between 2F and F

• At 2F • At 2F

• Between 2F and F • Beyond 2F

• At F • No image

• Between F and lens • Virtual image


Sign Convention
do  +    object distance

di   +   real image, other side of lens


di    -   virtual image, same side as object

hi + erect image
hi - inverted image

f     +   converging lens (convex)


f     -    diverging lens (concave)
Magnification

M = hi = -di
ho do

Note: When magnification is <0, the


image is inverted.
