Concave lenses:
what are the ray laws?
+ whats the salt
1) PA -> F (L)
2) F’ -> PA
3) Through O
smaller, upright, same side as object, virtual
Convex lenses:
what are the ray laws?
+ whats the salt
1) PA -> F (R)
2) F’ (L) -> PA
3) Through O
sm,sa,l,x,l
inverted, x, up
real, x, virtual
Convex lens, object at 2F
same, inverted, AT 2F, real
At 2F : diagram may be off due to curvature
Convex lens, object is getting closer
between F & 2F
At 2F
Beyond 2F
Same side as object
Convex lens at F’
No image formed !
What type of mirror is diverging?
Concave
What type of mirror is converging?
Convex
What is presbyopia?
A form of far-sightedness.
Eye loses its elasticity when ppl get older.
Can be corrected by glasses.
Like reading glasses
What is myopia?
Near-sightedness. Condition in which eye cannot focus on distant objects. Light rays converge too early, thus image doesnt form at retina.
To correct it: DIVERGING / CONVEX, negative meniscus
What is hyperopia?
Far sightedness. Eye cannot focus on nearby objects. Light rays converge too late, thus image doesnt form at retina.
To correct it: CONVERGING / CONCAVE, positive meniscus
How does lasik eye surgery work?
- Separate thin layer from front of cornea
- Laser sculpts the cornea bed into corrective shape
- Laser reshapes it so when light enters the eye lens it refracts appropriately to allow light rays to form image at retina.
