This Week’s Lab Pins “Images” will not line up when the “objects” do

4
Lenses -- Wave Picture A converging lens bends light toward the axis
5
Lenses -- Ray Picture A converging lens bends light toward the axis like a prism ? n = 1.5 n = 1.0 “Thin Lens” approximation assumes a single bend at the midline.
6
Converging Lenses A converging lens bends light toward the axis Focal point is the place on the axis where all rays arriving parallel to the axis are directed “In parallel-out through focus” focal length
7
Converging Lenses Focal point is the place on the axis where all rays arriving parallel to the axis are directed There is a second focal point on the input side where all rays directed away from it leave parallel to the axis “In through focus-out parallel”“In parallel-out through focus” focal length

Converging Lens-Ray Diagrams ff Bend the ray at the middle of the lens In parallel-out through focus Also straight through the center of the lens d i image distance d 0 object distance The image will also appear on a screen placed at the image location. h0h0 hihi In through focus-out parallel

Equations Thin lens equation Magnification equation f focal length always + for converging lens (- for diverging) d 0 object distance + if on input side d i image distance + if output side (- if on input side) m magnification + if image is (- if image inverted) h height + if not inverted (- if inverted)

Converging Lens-Ray Diagrams ff Bend the ray at the middle of the lens In parallel-out through focus Also straight through the center of the lens d i image distance d 0 object distance The image will also appear on a screen placed at the image location. h0h0 hihi In through focus-out parallel
11
Converging Lens-Ray Diagrams ff Bend the ray at the middle of the lens In from focus-out parallel Also straight through the center of the lens d 0 object distance image distance d i Now we have to “backtrack” the rays to see where they seem to come from! In parallel-out through focus
