Ray Diagrams for Converging Lenses 1. Parallel incoming light is refracted through the focal point

2. Light coming in through the focal point is refracted out parallel

2. Light coming in through the focal point is refracted out parallel

3. Rays passing through the center are refracted out in the same direction. 4.

3. Rays passing through the center are refracted out in the same direction. 4. An image is formed where the rays cross.

A parallel beam of light is sent through an aquarium. If a convex glass

A parallel beam of light is sent through an aquarium. If a convex glass lens is held in the water, it focuses the beam… 1. closer to the lens than… 2. at the same position as… 3. farther from the lens than… …before.

A parallel beam of light is sent through an aquarium. If a convex glass

A parallel beam of light is sent through an aquarium. If a convex glass lens is held in the water, it focuses the beam… The index of refraction (n) between water and glass is less 1. closer to the lens than… than it is between air and glass. Therefore the light in the 2. at the same water bends less and if position as… focused farther away. 3. farther from the lens than… …before.

A real image is one where the light rays actually come from the image

A real image is one where the light rays actually come from the image location. Real Image

Virtual Image A virtual image is one where the light rays do not actually come from the image location, but rather only seem to.

Lens Equations: Distances & Focal Points: • Focal Length for a converging lens is

Lens Equations: Distances & Focal Points: • Focal Length for a converging lens is positive (+). • There is something called a diverging lens which has a negative focal length, but we have not (& will not) talk about that type of lens.

Signs for magnification Quantity symbol Upright Image Height h’ + Magnification M + Inverted

Signs for magnification Quantity symbol Upright Image Height h’ + Magnification M + Inverted Image If M is < 1 the image is smaller than the object If M is > 1 the image is larger than the object

Quantity symbol Upright Image Height h’ + Magnification M + Image is inverted (upside

Quantity symbol Upright Image Height h’ + Magnification M + Image is inverted (upside down) therefore h’ = - Inverted Image Real Image
