CAMBRIDGE O LEVEL PHYSICS

[5054]
TOPIC: 3.2-“LIGHT”
SUB-TOPIC: 3.2.3-Thin lenses

PREPARED BY: SHAH MD. NAYEEM


COURSE TEACHER - PHYSICS
Objective Of The Lesson
By the end of today’s lecture students will be able
to:
 Describe a lens.
 Describe different types of lenses (structure &
properties).
 Describe the terms associated with a lens.
 Describe “Ray Diagram”.
 State the rules for drawing ray diagram.
 Draw ray diagram for different types of lenses.
Expected Conceptual Ideas
Students are expected to have the following ideas:
 Properties of light.
 Behaviour of light.
 Structure and function of a prism.
Uses Of Lens In Everyday Life
What Is A Lens?
 A set of prisms made of transparent material
arranged such that it produces an image by either
converging or diverging a parallel beam of light.
 The converging and diverging of light through lens
occur due to refraction.
Types Of Lenses
Converging & Diverging Lenses
 A converging lens is one through which a parallel
beam of light converges (comes to a point) after
passing through the lens due to refraction. It is
thinner at the edges and thicker in the middle.
 It is also known as Convex Lens.
 A diverging lens is one through which a parallel
beam of light diverges (spreads from a point)
after passing through the lens due to refraction. It
is thicker at the edges and thinner in the middle.
 It is also known as Concave Lens.
Lens - Terminology
 Principal Axis
An imaginary line passing through the center of the
surface of a lens.
Lens - Terminology
 Optical Center
The point inside the lens which lies on the principal
axis through which light rays pass without any
deflection.
Lens - Terminology
 Principal Focus or Focal Point

For a convex or converging lens, it is the point to


which light rays actually converge after refraction.

For a concave or diverging lens, it is the point from


where light rays appear to diverge after refraction.
Lens - Terminology
 Focal Length
It is the distance from the center of the lens to the
principal foci (or focal points) of the lens.
Lens - Terminology
 Optical Axis
An imaginary line of symmetry of the lens
perpendicular to the principal axis and passing
through the optical center.
First & Second Principal Focus
Ray Diagram
 A ray diagram is a diagram that traces the path
that light takes after passing through a lens.
 This diagram is useful to locate the position of
the image formed by a lens.
 It also helps us to describe the image formed
by a lens.
