Warm-up answer

Introduction to lenses On the back table you will find two different shaped lenses. Place the lenses in front of the light source and observe what the light ray does. You will trace the the incoming and outgoing (show me your rays before tracing). Trace the rays on the paper provided (we will be adding notes to your diagrams.

Convex Lens

Concave Lens

Ray Diagrams Diagraming the light rays from an object allow us to predict the image we see. Location of the image Real or virtual Orientation; upright or inverted Size; enlarged, same size, reduced) We will do this for convex lenses only!

Setting up the principal axis
10
Rules for Drawing Ray Diagrams Note: the point where the lines intersect is the image location. Darken in that point (point becomes the tip of the arrow)

CNs – Lens Equation Focal length (cm) Distance of object (cm) Distance of image (cm)
17
CNs – Magnification Equation Object magnification (cm) Height of image (cm) Distance of image (cm) Distance of Object (cm) Height of object (cm)

Practice questions
19
Cool Down If the magnification is a negative number what does it tell you about the size of the image compared to the actual size of the object?
