Key Topics to Revise
Types of Lenses and Their Properties
- A lens is a transparent medium with two refracting surfaces that are parts of spheres
- Convex lens: Thicker at center, converges parallel rays to a real focus
- Concave lens: Thinner at center, diverges parallel rays from a virtual focus
Ray Diagrams and Image Formation
- Three principal rays: parallel to axis, through optic centre, through/towards focus
- Parallel ray to convex lens passes through far-side focus after refraction
- Ray through optic centre passes straight without deviation
Image Characteristics for Different Object Positions
- Convex lens - Object beyond 2F: Image between F and 2F, real, inverted, diminished
- Convex lens - Object at 2F: Image at 2F, real, inverted, same size
- Convex lens - Object between F and 2F: Image beyond 2F, real, inverted, magnified
Lens Equation and Sign Convention
- Lens equation relates focal length, object distance, and image distance
- Cartesian sign convention: distances measured from optic centre
- Positive direction: same as incident light; Negative: opposite to incident light
