Ray diagrams Same rays as we drew for mirrors Rays will always go through the mirror (not reflected) but will be somehow bent (refracted)
Useful Definitions Lens – a transparent object that refracts light rays, causing them to converge or diverge to create an image. **Big difference with mirrors** Real is on the right side of the lens. Why? + side of mirror is ride side - side of mirror is left side
Converging lens #1 2F F C F 2F Real, Inverted, Reduced Image
Converging lens #2 2F F C F 2F Real, Inverted, True (Same size) Image
Converging lens #3 2F F C F Real, Inverted, Enlarged Image
Converging lens #4 F C F Virtual, Upright, Enlarged Image
For converging lenses f is positive p is positive q is positive for real images and negative for virtual images M is negative for real images and positive for virtual images hi is negative for real images and positive for virtual images
Diverging lens F C F Virtual, Upright, Reduced Image
For diverging lenses f is negative p is positive q is negative M is positive and < 1 hi is positive and < ho
