27. Ray Diagram for Diverging Lens • The image is virtual • The image is upright

28. A plastic sandwich bag filled with water can act as a crude converging lens in air. If the bag is filled with air and placed under water, is the effective lens (a) converging or (b) diverging? QUICK QUIZ 23.4

29. (b). In this case, the index of refraction of the lens material is less than that of the surrounding medium. Under these conditions, a biconvex lens will be divergent. QUICK QUIZ 23.4 ANSWER

30. Between F’ and O Behind lens, virtual, upright larger than object Magnifying glass F’ F O At F’ Lighthouse No image Between F’ and 2F’ F’ F O Beyond 2F, real, inverted, larger Projector 2F’ F’ F O At 2F’ At 2F, real, inverted, same as object Office copier 2F’ F’ F O Beyond 2F’ Camera Between F and 2F, Real, inverted, smaller 2F’ F’ F O F Camera At infinity At F, real, inverted, smaller 2F’ F’ O Image Example

31. F’ F O (a) (b) Image F F’ Example: (a) An object 31.5 cm in front of a certain lens is imaged 8.20 cm in front of that lens (on the same side as the object). What type of lens is this and what is its focal length? Is the image real or virtual? (b) If the image were located, instead, 38.0 cm in front of the lens, what type of lens would it be and what focal length would it have? Solution: (a) 1/do+1/di=1/f where do=31.5 cm, di=-8.20 cm 1/31.5+1/(-8.20)=1/f, which yields f=-11.1 cm, thus diverging lens. The image is in front of the lens, so it is virtual (b) Similarly, we have 1/31.5+1/(-38.0)=1/f. which gives f=+184 cm, thus, converging lens.

32. Question: An object infinitely far from a converging lens has an image that is • real • virtual • upright • larger than the object Answer: a

33. Question: An object farther from a converging lens than its focal point always has an image that is • inverted • virtual • the same in size • smaller in size Answer: a

34. Quiz: An object closer to a converging lens than its focal point always has an image that is • inverted • virtual • the same in size • smaller in size Answer: b

35. Sign Conventions for Mirrors Concave gives “+” conventions

36. Sign Conventions for Refracting Surfaces/Lenes These are the same sign conventions – so just remember them for thin lenses. n1 is the source medium n2 is the observing medium

37. Combinations of Thin Lenses • The image produced by the first lens is calculated as though the second lens were not present • The light then approaches the second lens as if it had come from the image of the first lens • The image of the first lens is treated as the object of the second lens • The image formed by the second lens is the final image of the system • If the image formed by the first lens lies on the back side of the second lens, then the image is treated at a virtual object for the second lens • p will be negative • The overall magnification is the product of the magnification of the separate lenses
