Lenses 

Snell’s Law applies to light as it travels from the air into the lens and back into air.



Remember that light rays are always reversible – I see you – You see me.

The lensmaker’s formula also applies to lenses as it does for mirrors. 

1/do + 1/di = 1/f



di/do = si/so



If the image is virtual di and si are negative.

•Rules for Lenses •In parallel – Out through the focal point •In through the focal point – Out parallel •In to the middle of the lens – Out thru the middle of the lens

•Light always goes toward the fatter part of the lens

Parallel Light through a Convex Lens

Convex Lens Convex lens Converging lens Fat in the middle lens Gathering light lens Magnifying lens

Images for Lenses  Real images are always inverted and on

the other side of the lens from the object. They can be projected onto a screen and actually have light rays meeting at the image.

 Virtual images are always erect and are

located on the same side of the lens as the object.

6 Cases for convex lenses 

1 - Object at ∞

23456

Object beyond 2f Object at 2f Object between f and 2f Object at f Object closer than f

Case 6 for a Convex Lens

Convex Lens – case 6

Concave Lens concave lens diverging lens skinny in the middle lens spreads out the light lens wide angle lens all images are smaller lens and f is negative

Wide Angle Lens = Concave Lens

The focal length for a plane lens is infinity!

 Q - As the curvature of the lens increases, what happens to the focal point? 

A lens made out of diamond!

 Q - As the index of refraction for a lens increases, what happens to the focal point?



Blue light undergoes the greatest refraction – See reference tables.

 Q– Which color will have the longest focal point in a convex lens? 

Demo – overhead projector and smoke.

Focal Point for different colors

Chromatic Aberration 

Different colors refract differently. They have different focal points. This is a problem when looking through other media like glass. This problem can be solved by coating the lens or by using a combination of lenses of different kinds of glass.

Spherical Aberration 

When light rays pass through the edges of a lens, they do not form clear images. This problem may be solved by using only the center of the lens or by using a combination of lenses.
