Physics 7C SS1, Lecture 6: Ray Model Lenses & Images
Agenda • Quiz 2 • Review Ray model: lenses and images • Introduce Field model: • Electric field and Force • Analogies with gravitational field and force
Lecture today should be… • Primarily about lenses • More lenses than fields • Even between lenses and fields • More fields than lenses • Primarily about fields
Every part of the tree reflects light, scattering it all directions. A ray diagram is used to simplify this picture.
What type of image does Ernie make? • Real • Virtual • Upright • Inverted • Bigger • Smaller
Focal point, f Image plane Image plane c Object plane o i
Focal point, f c Image plane i o Object plane
Concepts: Object Image Real Virtual Upright Inverted Magnification Focus Ways to locate Image: Thin Lens Equation Image distance Object distance Sign of lens Ray Tracing Principal Rays Lens Types: Converging Diverging Convex Concave Terms in Optics
True/False: This is enough information to determine the focal point of the lens. If true, devise a procedure. If false, determine the minimal additional information necessary. Object Image plane Image c
You place a tiny source of light at the focal point What happens? • Rays all bend through the far focal point • Rays emerge parallel • Rays travel straight (looks like diverge from the near focal point) • Something else
