Convex lens teaching flow chart

The light rays converge after passing through the prisms!!

In what way do the light rays pass throughthe prisms?

QUESTION TIME

Light rays passing through two prisms

QUESTION TIME

The light rays converge!!

AGAIN!!!The light rays also converge tothe same point!

QUESTION TIME

Will the light rays still converge if we continue

to cut the prisms?

NOYES NO

Convex lens Construction Rules

Now, we are going to find the image of an object formed by a convex lens by using these rules.

By using the three construction rules of convex lens, draw a ray diagram of an object with object distance u = 15 cm. (Assume the focal length of the convex lens is 10 cm.)Can you find the imagedistance?
