Q
  1. What happens when the object is between the principal focus and the lens?
A
  • the image is then virtual
  • it is on the same side of the lens as the object is
  • the image is erect and enlarged

A VIRTUAL IMAGE IS:
- up right image
- it has a + magnification

Q
  1. What can be said about the distance form the object to a lens?
A
  • it is positive

THE DISTANCE FROM A LENS TO A REAL IMAGE:
- this is positive
- the real image is located to the right of the lens

THE DISTANCE FROM A LENS TO A VIRTUAL IMAGE:
- this is negative
- the image is located to the left of the lens

Q
  1. What can be said about f (Focal Point) for a concave (diverging) lens?
A
  • f is negative
20
Q
  1. What are the positive lenses of the eye?
A
  • the cornea
  • the crystalline lens
  • they form real images
  • they form them on the Retina
21
Q
  1. What can be said about Corrective lenses?
A
  • eyeglass lenses and contact lenses are examples of
    corrective lenses
  • they can have positive and negative focal lengths
  • this depends on the necessary correction needed
22
Q
  1. Which kind of corrective lens is used to treat Presbyopia?
A
  • a lens with a positive focal length

PRESBYOPIA= gradual loss of your eyes’ ability to focus
on nearby objects

23
Q
  1. What kind of corrective lens is used to treat Myopia?
A
  • a lens with a negative focal length

MYOPIA = a common vision condition in which near
objects appear clear, but objects farther away
look blurry

24
Q
  1. What are focal lengths expressed as?
A
  • they are expressed as distances
  • they are expressed in cm or in m
25
Q
  1. How would we calculate the power of a lens?
A
  • this is the inverse of the focal length calculation
  • P = 1 / f
    P= power of the lens
    f= focal length (cm or m)

LENS POWER IS MEASURED IN:
- Diopters (D)
- 1D = 1/m

26
Q
  1. What happens when there are two refracting interfaces in succession?
A
  • we use the Lensmaker’s Equation
  • n = refractive index of the lens material
  • r1= radii of the curvature of lens surface one
  • r2= radii of the curvature of lens surface two
  • this equation holds for all the types of thin lenses
27
Q
  1. When is the radius of the curvature (r) positive?
A
  • it is positive when its centre of curvature lies to the
    right of the surface
28
Q
  1. When is the radius of the curvature (r) negative?
A
  • this is when the centre of the curvature lies to left of
    the surface
29
Q
  1. Does this make sense?
A
  • yes
30
Q
  1. Can lenses have a range of shapes?
A
  • yes they can
  • even if they have the same focal length
31
Q
  1. What are the shapes of the lenses when they have positive focal lengths?
A
  • they can be biconvex
  • they can be planoconvex (one side flat)
  • they can be positive meniscus
32
Q
  1. What are the shapes of the lenses when they have negative focal lengths?
A
  • they can be biconcave
  • they can be planoconcave (one side flat)
  • they can be negative meniscus

A
  • it is a negative meniscus lens
  • it has a negative focal length

35
Q
  1. How do we work out the focal length (f) for a combination of two thin lenses?
A

  1. Answer this question.
A
  • B
  • length that is propagated into empty space
