The lens of your eye or a camera collects and focuses light and forms an image on retina or a piece of film or digital detector. Note that, applying the sign conventions, the final image is virtual, and inverted compared to the object. When a light ray travels from one medium to another, part of the incident. Converging lenses are always convex in shape, which means the centre is thicker than the edges. You will also verify the mirror and lens equation and the magnification.
The overall magnification of the two lens system is. The distance to the image and the distance to the object are measured. Pdf optical images due to lenses and mirrors researchgate. Two prisms can bend light toward the principal axis acting like a crude converging lens but cannot create a sharp focus. Rays of light parallel to the principal axis after refraction through a convex lens meet at a point converge on the principal axis. Image formation by mirrors and lenses chapter outline 26. Lenses and mirrors 2 for a spherical lens, parallel light incoming to a lens with convex surfaces will converge on its focal point, while parallel light incident on a concave lens. A graph of the inverse of the image distance as a function of the inverse of the object distance is plotted. You can skip questions if you would like and come back.
Use the lensmakers equation to determine the focal length of a thin lens. University physics 227n232n mirrors and lenses todd satogata. You need only two rays to determine where an image is. Just as for mirrors we use three rays to find the image from a lens. This is equal to the final height divided by the height of the object, as it should be. The primary goals are to understand the relationship between image distance, object distance, and image scale.
It is proven in introductory physics textbooks1 that the image and. In this experiment you will learn to determine the focal lengths of mirrors and lenses. The f ray passes through the focal point on the near side of the lens, then leaves the lens parallel to the principal axis. Concaveconvex mirror and lenses for ssc cgl, chsl, mts. A real image is formed if the rays from the object. The shape of a lens is named in a similar way to the naming of mirrors, its just a little more complicated. This video contains the properties of concave mirror, concave lens, convex mirror and convex lens and also the types of questions, which could be asked fro.
Exploring images with thin lenses and mirrors 1 of 20 introduction. In principle, electromagnetic waves may have any wavelength, from zero to arbitrarily long. The focal length, f, is the distance between f and the lens. The m ray passes through the middle of the lens with no deflection.
