11. TERMS RELATED TO LENS 1)Optical centre: The centre of a lens is called optical centre. It is denoted by symbol O.

12. TERMS RELATED TO LENS 2) Centre of curvature: The centres of the spherical surfaces forming the lens are known as centre of curvature. It is denoted by symbol C. A lens has two centre of curvatures.

13. TERMS RELATED TO LENS 3)Radius of curvature: The distance between the optical centre and the centre of curvature is known as radius of curvature. It is denoted by the symbol R. 4)Principal axis: The line joining the centres of curvature C 1 and C 2 of two spherical surfaces of the lens is called the principal axis of the lens.

14. TERMS RELATED TO LENS 5)First Focus: It is a point situated on the principal axis of the lens such that a beam of light starting from it in case of a convex lens, or directed towards it in case of a concave lens, becomes parallel to principal axis after refraction.

15. TERMS RELATED TO LENS 6)Second Focus: It is a point situated on the principal axis of the lens such that a beam of light incident parallel to the principal axis, after refraction from the lens, pass through it (convex lens) or appear to be diverging from this point (concave lens).

16. FACTORS AFFECTING FOCAL LENGTH Focal length of a lens depends on two factors. i.Refractive index of material of lens relative to its surrounding medium ii.The radii of curvature of the two surfaces of lens. (This formula is known as lens maker’s formula) (Not in the syllabus)  If the lens is placed in water instead of air, its focal length increases.  A thick lens has less focal length than a thin lens.  If a part of the lens is covered, Focal length remains unchanged Intensity of the image decreases.

28. EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION OF FOCAL LENGTH OF A CONVEX LENS (I)BY DISTANT OBJECT METHOD: This is based on the following principle. “ a beam of parallel rays incident from a distant object is converged in the focal plane of the lens.” The lens is kept between the distant object and a screen. The position of the lens is changed till the clear image of the object is formed on the screen. The distance between the screen and the lens is measured. This distance is known as focal length of the lens.

29. EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION OF FOCAL LENGTH OF A CONVEX LENS (II)BY AUXILLARY PLANE MIRROR METHOD : Place the lens L on a plane mirror kept on the horizontal surface of the vertical stand and arrange the pin P horizontally in the clamp so that its tip is vertically above the centre O of the lens L.

30. EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION OF FOCAL LENGTH OF A CONVEX LENS (II)BY AUXILLARY PLANE MIRROR METHOD : Adjust the height of the pin until it has no parallax with its inverted image as seen from vertically above the pin.

Calculate the focal length using fromula f = x+y 2

36. MAGNIFYING GLASS (SIMPLE MICROSCOPE)

37. To see an object by the naked eye, it is necessary to place it at a minimum distance of 25 cm. (which is known as the least distance of distinct vision). The eye is able to see the object if it subtends a minimum angle of 1’ at it. To observe a small object which subtends an angle less than 1’ at the eye when placed at least distance of distinct vision from the eye, convex lens is used. The object is placed between the optical centre and the focus of the lens. The image is erect, virtual, magnified and on the same side of the object.
