Images Formed by Lenses (Page 199)
Images formed by Lenses Using ray diagrams, you can predict the location, orientation, size and type of image as it appears through a lens Once the focal point has been identified, 3 key rays close to the principal axis are chosen to locate the image Lens ray diagrams are simplified in two ways: (1) partial reflection/refraction is ignored; (2) refraction that should occur is replaced with only one bend at the axis of symmetry (shown by a vertical line through the lens)

A General Ray Diagram for a Converging Lens
Image Characteristics of Converging Lenses Some images formed by converging lenses are inverted; while others are upright To determine the orientation of the image, draw ray diagrams with the object in different positions relative to the lens 3 cases for converging lenses: Object between focal point and lens; object between one and two focal lengths and object beyond two focal lengths
Image Characteristics of Converging Lenses
Case 1: Object between Focal Point and lens Farther, upright, larger & virtual
Case 2: Object between 1 and 2 F Farther, inverted, larger & real
Case 1: Object beyond 2F F F 2F 2F Closer, inverted, smaller & real

Image Characteristics of Diverging Lenses For diverging lenses, the image is always upright, virtual. Closer to the lens and smaller As the object moves farther from the lens, the image gets smaller
