What is a thin lens?
Simple Lens
A simple lens is an optical device which takes parallel light rays
and focuses them to a point.
This point is called the focus or focal point f

Snell’s Law, applied at each point on the surface,


determines where the light comes to a focus.

Concave lens compared to pair of prisms


Image Formation in a Lens
By exception the experiment, the formation of images
by a lens can be determined using two alternative approaches :

a) Using ray tracing. In this case a small number of


characteristic rays are used.

b) Using the Thin Lens equation and the Magnification


equation. These equations relate the object and image
distances, to the focal distance and magnification,
respectively.
Image Formation in a Lens – Ray Tracing
The three basic light rays used in ray tracing:
1. A ray which leaves the object parallel to the axis,
is refracted to pass through the focal point (P).
2. A ray which passes through the lens’s center is
undeflected (M).
3. A ray passing through the focal point (as shown)
is refracted to end up parallel to the axis (F).
Images Formed by a Convex Lens

f 2f Object between 2f and f

2f f Image is inverted, real


enlarged.

f 2f Object between f and lens

2f f Image is upright, virtual,


and enlarged.
Images Formed by a Concave Lens

f 2f Object beyond 2f.

2f f Image is upright,
virtual, reduced.

Object between
f 2f f and lens.

2f f Image is upright,
virtual, reduced.

Sign Conventions
1. Converging or convex lens
• focal length is positive
• image distance is positive when on the other side
of the lens (with respect to object)
• height upright is positive, inverted is negative
2. Diverging or concave lens
• focal length is negative
• image distance is always negative
(on the same side of the lens as the object)
• height upright is positive, inverted is negative
The image is twice as large as the object
and is located 15 cm from the lens. Find:
a) The focal length
b) The object distance
An object of height 3 cm, is placed 12 cm in front of a diverging
lens with a focal length of – 7.9 cm.
a) Use ray tracing to form the image
b) Use the thin lens equations to find the image distance and size
An object of height 3 cm, is placed 12 cm in front of a diverging
lens with a focal length of – 7.9 cm.
