    Concave and Convex Lens

    Science 10
    Quarter 2
    Lesson 18
    Sir Naz
    Objectives
    1. Investigate the refraction properties of light using concave and
    convex lenses.
    2. Distinguish between converging and diverging lenses.
    3. Cite practical uses of convex and concave lenses.
    What is Refraction?
    Refraction is the bending of
    light when it travels from
    one medium to another of
    different optical densities.

    WHAT IS A LENS?
    A lens is a transparent material
    made of glass or plastic that
    refracts light rays and focuses
    (or appear to focus) them at a
    point.
    ACTIVITY
    YOU CAN BE MAGNIFIED
    Materials:
    1. Convex lens or magnifying glass
    2. Lens holder (e.g., clay)
    3. Meterstick or ruler
    4. Index card with inscribed letter “U” or any reading material
    PART 1 (PROCEDURE)
    1. Look for any object (tree, etc.) outside your window.
    2. Hold up the lens facing the window.
    3. Move a sheet of paper (screen) behind it.
    4. Adjust the paper or the lens until a clear image of the distant object
    is observed on the paper/ screen.
    5. Measure the distance from the image to the lens. This is the focal
    length of the lens.
    Q1: What is the focal length
    of the convex lens?
    Q2: How would you
    describe the image formed
    if a distant object is used?
    PART 2 (Procedure)
    1. Draw a U–shaped object on a piece of paper. Have one of your
    groupmates hold the piece of paper with inscribed letter “U”.
    Position yourself across the index card about 1 meter away (one
    arm’s length). A reading material like a book can also be used.
    2. Hold the convex lens in front your eyes and gradually move it closer
    to the index card. Only the lens shall move while you maintain your
    position.
    3. Record your observation as you move the convex lens towards the
    index card.
    Questions to Answer:

    Q3: What kind of lenses are magnifying glasses? When a magnifying


    glass produces a sharp clear image, where is the object located in
    relation to the lens?

    Q4: Where should a magnifying glass be placed to produce an enlarged


    and upright image, closer to the eye or nearer to the object? Why?
    TYPES of LENSES
    Concave Lens Convex Lens
    • A concave lens is thinner in the • A convex lens is thicker in the
    middle and thicker at the edges. middle and thinner at the edges.

    • It is also known as Diverging • It is also known as Converging


    Lens. Lens.

    • It diverges the incident rays • It converges the incident rays


    away from the principal axis. towards the principal axis.

    • Negative Focal Length • Positive Focal Length


    APPLICATIONS OF LENSES
    Vision Problems and Lenses

    1. Myopia
    • which near objects appear clear,
    but objects farther away look
    blurry.
    • It occurs when the shape of the
    eye — or the shape of certain
    parts of the eye — causes light
    rays to bend (refract) inaccurately.
    2. Hyperopia
    • can see distant objects clearly,
    but objects nearby may be blurry.
    • Farsightedness occurs when your
    eyeball is shorter than normal or
    your cornea is curved too little

    Concave lens
    • Treat the problem of near-
    sightedness or myopia by
    • Diverges the light ray and
    makes a clear image of the
    object on the retina

    Convex
    • Used for solving the long-
    sightedness or
    hypermetropia problem
    • Bends the light ray which
    shortens the focal length
    and thus, properly focuses
    the light ray on the retina.
