Eyeglasses. Peep-hole. Watch. Camera. Security mirror. Magnifying glasses. 1 In daily life, you may have come across lenses that are thicker or thinner in the middle. Which of the following items do you think may contain lenses?
2 When you see through lenses, do the objects appear the same as they are? No !
Introduction • Lenses are very useful. • e.g. in cameras, projectors, telescopes, microscopes and eyes • The most common lenses: • spherical lenses (i.e. the surface is spherical)
1 Convex and concave lenses Convex lens - thicker at the centre than at the edge.
1 Convex and concave lenses Concave lens - thinner at the centre than at the edge.
1 Convex and concave lenses a Converging or Diverging? convex lens concave lens (converging lens) (diverging lens)
1 Convex and concave lenses a Converging or Diverging? convex lens concave lens (converging lens) (diverging lens)
1 Convex and concave lenses a Converging lens bend the light inwards You may remember ‘converging’ as ‘concentrating’.
1 Convex and concave lenses a Diverging lens bend the light outwards You may remember ‘diverging’ as ‘dividing’.
1 Convex and concave lenses a Converging or diverging? Recall that light travels more slowlyin glass than in air. Light converges or diverges as some parts of the wavefronts lag behind. converges diverges
b Key features of lenses • Parallel rays are refracted inwards. principal focus • Refracted rays meet at a point called the principal focus F.
Centre of the lens is called the optical centre C. F optical centre
The distance of F from C is the focal length f of the lens. F C focal length
F' F F' F • A convex lens has 2 principal foci. • 1 on each side C principal axis • The line through the optical centre and 2 foci is called the principal axis.
Parallel rays are refracted outwards. principal focus • Refracted rays appear to spread from a point called the principal focus F.
Centre of the lens is called the optical centre C. F optical centre
The distance of F from C is the focal length f of the lens. F C focal length
F' F F' F • A concave lens has 2 principal foci. • 1 on each side C principal axis • The line through the optical centre and 2 foci is called the principal axis.

Q2 A light ray is incident on a… A light ray is incident on a concave lens. Which one represents the path of the light ray? X Y Z A Path X. B Path Y. C Path Z.
2 Image formation by a lens O screen When the light from a point of an object enters our eyes, we can see the point. I
2 Image formation by a lens I O a Real images Light rays converge to a point.
2 Image formation by a lens I O screen Image can be captured by a screen. Hence called ‘real’.
2 Image formation by a lens I O b Virtual images Light rays diverge from a point. No rays actually come from the image. Hence called ‘virtual’. convex lens
2 Image formation by a lens I O b Virtual images Light rays diverge from a point. concave lens
I O screen Since only convex lensesconverge light rays, real images can only be formed by convex lenses.

4 Position and nature of image f Convex lens refracts the rays to form an inverted image on a plane at the principal focus. convex lens focal plane Such a plane is called the focal plane.
