  1. Thin Lenses

  2. Lens Types Converging Lenses f1: object focal point f2: image focal point Diverging Lenses

  3. Ray Diagrams for a Converging Lens • Ray 1 is drawn parallel to the principal axis. After being refracted, this ray passes through the focal point on the back side of the lens. • Ray 2 is drawn through the center of the lens and continues in a straight line. • Ray 3 is drawn through the focal point on the front side of the lens (or as if coming from the focal point if do< f) and emerges from the lens parallel to the principal axis.

  4. The image is real and inverted The image is virtual and upright

  5. Ray Diagrams for a Diverging Lens • Ray 1 is drawn parallel to the principal axis. After being refracted, this ray emerges such that it appears to have passed through the focal point on the front side of the lens. • Ray 2 is drawn through the center of the lens and continues in a straight line. • Ray 3 is drawn toward the focal point on the back side of the lens and emerges from the lens parallel to the principal axis.

  6. The image is virtual and upright

  7. The lens equation

  8. Sign Conventions for Thin Lenses • dois positive if object is in front of lens (real object). • dois negative if object is in back of lens (virtual object). • diis positive if image is in back of lens (real image). • diis negative if image is in front of lens (virtual image). • f is positive if the lens is converging. • f is negative if the lens is diverging.
