Objectives
Student should be able to: a. describe the definition of the lens b. distinguish convex and concave lenses. c. describe and draw the rays diagrams of convex and concave lenses. d. describe the process and paint formation and properties of the image on the convex and concave lenses. e. compare the experiment result.
Lens??
A lens is a transparent object limited by two refractions planes, with one of or both surface are curved.
In daily life, you may have come across lenses that are thicker or thinner in the middle.
Which of the following items do you think may contain lenses? Eyeglasses. Camera.
Magnifying glasses.
Watch.
When you see through lenses, do the objects appear the same as they are?
No !
CONVEX LENS
LENS
CONCAVE LENS
Convex lenses
Convex lens - thicker at the centre than at the edge.
biconvex
Plane-convex
Concave convex
The incident ray passing through the firing point is refracted to the major axis
The incident ray passing through the lenss optical central point is forwarded straight without any refraction
Concave lenses
Concave lens - thinner at the centre than at the edge.
Biconcave
Plane-concave
Convex concave
The incident ray coming as if it goes to the firing point is refracted parallel to the major axis
The incident ray coming to the lenss optical central point is forwarded straight without any refraction

Conclusions
CONVEX LENS
Convex lens has characteristic of gathering rays (convergent) and it is called positive lens. The image formed depends on the position of the object located in front of the lens, either in quadrants I, II, or III
Conclusions
CONCAVE LENS
Concave lens has characteristic of spreading or emitting the rays (divergent) and it is called negative lens. The image formed in concave lens is only a kind, which is from the object randomly situated in front of the concave lens. The characterictics of image formed: virtual, upright, belittled, situated in quadrant I and in the same part.
