Lenses
Lenses• A converging lens, or positive lens is a convex lens.• A diverging lens, or negative lens is a concave lens.• We will be using biconvex lenses for IB.• Lenses use refraction, and the rays bend twice in
the lens.• We simplify this by bending light rays once along a
vertical line at the lens midpoint.• We refer to lenses as “thin” lenses so we can
simplify by bending the rays once.
Biconvex Lens• This lens is called a converging lens (or positive
lens).• Light rays converge on the real side (right side) at
the focal point.• As it is composed of two circular objects joined
together, there are two foci.• The real focus is on the right side and the virtual
focus is on the left side.• Uses: Magnifying glasses, cameras, photographic
enlargers, slide projectors, movie projectors, reading glasses.
Biconvex Lens• The centre of the lens, where it meets the principal
axis (PA), is called the optical centre (OC)• The vertical line bisecting the lens is called the axis
of symmetry (A of S)• There are two focal points: the real one (F) and the
virtual one (F’).• Light rays parallel to the principal axis, will converge
at the focal length, f.

Biconvex Lens
• A thin lens has a thickness much smaller than f.• Three rays are used, to locate images. • Ray 1: a ray parallel to PA from the top of the object
to the A of S, refracts through F• Ray 2: a ray passing through F’ and the top of the
object to the A of S, refracts parallel to the PA• Ray 3: a ray passing through the OC to the A of S,
will not refract and will pass straight through

Calculations• We can use the mirror formulae with lenses again.• The thin lens equation is very applicable here
(obviously!)• Remember that di is negative for virtual images and
hi is negative if the image is inverted.

Calculations• Ex 1) A convex lens of a magnifying glass is held 2.00
cm above a page to magnify the print. If the image produced by the lens is 3.60 cm away and virtual, what is the focal length of the lens?

candle is placed 50.0 cm from the lens. What type of image is formed and how far is the image from the lens?

As di is negative, the image is virtual.
