An object moved far to the left approaches a parallel ray source. so = ∞. The image approaches the focal point f of the lens. Distant Source R2 R1 so f object image
A biconvex lens is a positive lens. Both terms are positive R1 > 0 and R2 <0 Converging lens Focal length is positive If the radii are small, the focal length is roughly equal to the smaller radius. Positive Lens
A biconcave lens is a negative lens. Both terms are negative R1 < 0 and R2 > 0 Diverging lens Focal length is negative Negative Lens R1 R2 so f object image
Parallel rays may enter the lens at a small angle. Focal points on a line This defines the focal plane. Focal Plane R2 R1 so f object image
Underwater • A glass lens is held underwater to view an object at the bottom of the tank. The focal length will be • A. longer. • B. about the same. • C. shorter.
Real Image • Rays through a converging lens can meet at a focal plane and form a real image. • Object between f and 2f from the lens forms past 2f on far side • Screen elsewhere has blurred image Thin lens equation
Virtual Image • Rays through a diverging lens create no real image. • Virtual image from apparent origin • Focal length and image point are negative next
