Refraction (bending light) Refraction is when light bends as it passes from one medium into another. When light traveling through air passes into the glass.

8. Thin lenses Thin lenses are those whose thickness is small compared to their radius of curvature. They may be either converging or diverging. 1) Types.

Geometric Optics This chapter covers how images form when light bounces off mirrors and refracts through lenses. There are two different kinds of images:

Curved Lenses SNC2P – Optics. Lenses Lenses are thin pieces of glass or plastic that have at least one curved side. There are two basic types of lenses:

Optical Density - a property of a transparent medium that is an inverse measure of the speed of light through the medium. (how much a medium slows the.

12.1 Characteristics of Lenses. Today we will learn about...  the different types of lenses, the characteristics of the image formed by each of those.

Its now time to see the light…..  A lens is a curved transparent material that is smooth and regularly shaped so that when light strikes it, the light.

Dispersion The spreading of light into its color components is called dispersion. When light enters a prism, the refracted ray is bent towards the normal,

Images Formed by Lenses Ray Diagrams for Lenses Ray diagrams can be used to predict characteristics of images using 3 rays, just like for concave.

 A lens is a transparent object with at least one curved side that causes light to refract  Like mirrors, lenses have surfaces that are described as.

Characteristics of Lenses (Page 199)

Characteristics of Lenses Lens: A transparent object with at least one curved side that causes light to refract Reading stones (made of quartz) were the first lenses developed

Describing Lenses Lenses have two sides and either side can be plane, concave or convex Diverging Lens: cause parallel light rays to spread away from a common point Converging Lens: cause parallel light rays to come together toward a common point

Describing Lenses When light rays pass through a window, they first bend towards the normal (air-to-glass) When light rays exit the glass, they bend away from the normal (glass-to-air) The light rays are laterally displaced – the glass is not a lens since no change of direction has occurred

Converging Lenses Bring parallel light rays toward a common point Biconvex: A lens that is convex on both sides Light rays entering from the left (air-to-glass; fast to slow medium) they bend towards the normal Light rays leave (glass-to-air; slow to fast medium) they bend away from the normal Because of the direction of the normals, the rays converge

Diverging Lenses Spreads parallel light rays away from a common point Biconcave: A lens that is concave on both sides Light rays entering from the left (air-to-glass; fast to slow medium) they bend towards the normal Light rays leave (glass-to-air; slow to fast medium) they bend away from the normal Because of the direction of the normals, the rays diverge Do questions #------ on page ------

Focal Point & Focal Length Principal Axis: A line that passes through the center of the lens normal to the lens surfaces Converging Lens: Light rays parallel to principal axis intersect at the focal point(F) Since light rays can pass from both sides, lenses have two focal points

Focal Point & Focal Length Diverging Lens: Since rays diverge, you need to trace the rays backwards to find F This F is a virtual focus The distance from the center of the lens to F is the focal length

Focal Point & Focal Length The position of F depends on the index of refraction of the lens material and the lens curvature Materials with a high index of refraction cause light rays to bend more which shortens F The greater the curvature, the more light rays bend, the shorter the F
