The focal length of a lens is defined as
the image distance S' when the object is

Lens Maker Equation
A thin lens has 2 focal points depending on
whether incident rays come from left or right.

Characteristics of Image
Convex d > 2f real, inverted, diminshed
d = 2f real, inverted, same size
f < d < 2f real, inverted, magnified
d=f no image formed
d < f virtual,erect,magnif ied
Concave for any d virtual, erect, diminished
•Focal length is positive for converging lenses and negative for diverging lenses.•Object distance is positive if it is on side of lens that light is coming from (not always true!)•Image distance is positive if it is on the opposite side of lens that light is coming from.•Object and image heights are positive above the axis, negative below.

Lens Aberrations
Lens and mirror equations assume ray makes small angle with optic axis, if this
is not the case, imperfect blurred images are formed, this is called
ABERRATIONS
spherical aberration
chromatic aberration
•Other Aberrations•Astigmatism
•point object off the axis produces two line
images
at different points.•Coma
•off axis object produces a coma shaped image•Distortion
•magnification for off axis points different than
for
on axis points
Optical Instruments
•Camera•The light intensity I incident on the film per unit area is inversely proportional to the square of the ratio of the diameterof the lens to its focal length. The f-number equals the ratio of the focal length to the lens diameter

•Eye•The power of a lens in Diopters is the reciprocal of the focal length measured in meters (including sign)

•Simple Magnifier•When an object is at the near point of the eye ( 25 cm) the angle subtended by the object is When a convex lens of focal length f is placed between the eye and the object an image which subtends an angle 0 can be formed at the near point
