What is a lens?
surfaces. ,hitting the different parts of the lenssurface will be refracted differently.
Depending on the curvature of the lens,g rays w e er converge or verge.

2 Types of Lens
Converging Lens Diverging Lens Cause parallel rays to converge
Cause parallel rays to divergebehind
e in t e ens.
To Converge: To tend to meet in a point
t e ens.
To Diverge: To move, lie, or extend inor line different directions from a common
point; branch off.

Ray Diagram of Image formed by Converging Lens
Step #1: Draw a horizontal line to represent the principal axis.
Step #2: Draw a vertical line with arrow heads to represent the lens.
Step #3: The point of intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines is the optical centre. Label it as C.
Step #4: Mark the principal focus/ focal point F on the principal axis. The distance between C and F is thefocal length, f. The value of f is usually given in the question.
Step #5: Draw in the object from the left side of the lens. Mark the object as O. The height and theposition of the object is usually given in the question.
Step #6: Draw two rays from the object(a)From the object passing through the optical centre.b From the ob ect arallel to the rinci al axis. When the ra hits the lens ass it throu h the rinci alfocus/focal point F.
Ste #7: The ima e is at the osition where these two ra s intersect. Draw the ima e and mark it as I.

Characteristics Of An Ima e Formed by Lens
When you describe an image formed by lens, you state the following things:---. .
Check where the object and image are.
If they are on the same side of the lens, then the image is virtual. Thevirtual image appears to converge on the same side of the object.
If the object and image are on the opposite sides of the lens, thenthe ima e is real.
2. The position of the image from the lens. (Image distance v = distance ofmage rom t e ens. ect stance u = stance o o ect rom t e ens.
3. Whether the image is upright or inverted.
4. When the ima e is ma nified, diminished or same size as ob ect.
Magnification Image Height
