The document discusses thin lenses and ray diagrams. It begins by stating the objectives of the lesson, which are to describe lenses, different lens types, lens terminology, and how to draw ray diagrams. It then defines a lens as a set of prisms that can converge or diverge light. The two main lens types are converging (convex) and diverging (concave). Lens terminology like principal axis, optical center, focal point, and focal length are explained. The document concludes by providing examples of ray diagrams for different object positions with converging and diverging lenses.

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.
