Optics: Mirrors and Lenses 3 23-7, 23-8
Two Lens System • The image for the first lens becomes the object for the second lens
Two Lens Instruments • Microscopes • at least two convex lenses • Virtual and enlarged • Refracting Telescope • 2 convex lenses • Virtual, enlarged and inverted
The Eye and its Lenses • The eye focuses images on the retina • Muscles change the shape of the lens • Relaxed – distant object focused on retina • Contracted – f shortened, objects 25cm or closer in focus • Around 45 years old the lens stiffens and the muscles cannot shorten the f enough • Most refraction takes place at the curved surface of the cornea
The Eye and its Lenses • Myopia • f is too short • Images of distant objects are in front of the retina • Corrected by concave lens • Diverges rayswhich increases di • Moves image back to the retina
The Eye and its Lenses • Hyperopic • Farsighted • F is too long, image is behind retina • Convex lens corrects because virtual image is farther from the eye than the object
The Eye and its Lenses • Astigmatism • Contact Lenses
