pgs. 562 – 586 Chapter summary pg. 586 Ch. 15 Lenses and Refraction
Lens A transparent object that refracts light rays Images are formed through the refraction of light Two types: Convex lens Concave lens Converging lens Diverging lens
Focal point for a convex lens is the image distance for an infinite object distance • Lenses have a focal point on each side of the lens
A Simple Magnifier enables you to examine small objects by producing an enlarged image • It increases the angular size of an object • Angular size increases when the object moves closer • Angular size decreases when the object moves farther away
Concave Lens Image • Diverging lenses only produce one kind of image
Positive magnification = image is upright and virtual • Negative magnification = image is real and inverted M< 1, image is smaller M = 1, image is the same size M > 1, image is larger
An object is placed 30.0 cm in front of a converging lens with a focal length of 10.0 cm. Find the image distance and the magnification. Describe the image.
An object is placed 12.5 cm in front of a diverging lens with a focal length of 10.0 cm. Find the image distance and magnification. Describe the image.
