1
Refraction of Light EM lesson 8
2
Thicker in the center than at the edges Have positive focal lengths Converge parallel rays of light that pass through them
3
If an object is beyond C, the image is real, inverted, and smaller If the object is at C (or 2F), the image is real, inverted, and the same size as the object If the object is between C and F, the image is real, inverted, and enlarged. If the object is at F, no image is formed
5
Virtual Images Formed By a Convex Lens A virtual image is formed if the object is located between the focus and the lens.
6
if object is between F and the lens, image formed is virtual, upright and larger F F
8
Thinner at the center than the edges Have negative focal lengths and diverge parallel rays of light passing through them The focal length depends on the index of refraction and curvature
9
As n (index of refraction) increases, focal distance decreases As curvature increases, focal distance decreases also
10
concave lens will only produce a virtual image F Image formed is virtual upright and smaller than original object
12
to tell whether an object is real or virtual, erect or inverted, enlarged or diminished – DO THE MATH Real image – d i > 0 Virtual image – d i < 0 Erect image – h i > 0 Inverted image – h i < 0 Enlarged image – M > 1 Diminished image – M < 1
