10.7 – THIN CONVEX lenses Also called, why the human eye is spherical instead of flat.
WWBAT… • Describe how an image is formed by a thin convex lens • Determine the location of image formation for a thin convex lens • Determine the magnification of an image for a thin convex lens • Determine whether or not an image is upright or inverted for a thin convex lens • Determine whether an image is real or virtual for a thin convex lens Objectives
Convex: bending outward • Thin convex lenses are also called biconvex or converging • Light rays from an object are refracted and converge to form a real image beyond the lens Image formation by refractionin thin convex lenses
The focal length of a thin convex lens is the point beyond the lens where all head-on light rays converge when refracted • This is notwhere the image forms, however! Focal length
Questions to ask • Where does the image form? • Is the image upright or inverted (upside down)? • Is the image larger or smaller than the original image? How to predict image formation for thin convex lenses
