Study Notes
Refraction through Lenses
- Focal Length Equality: The first and second focal lengths are numerically equal (f₁ = f₂) when the lens is placed on the surface of water.
- Virtual Focus: A bi-concave lens has a virtual focus.
- Focal Length in Different Mediums: A double convex lens with a 10cm focal length in air will have a different focal length when immersed in water. The provided options show a range of values, but the specific answer depends on the refractive index of the glass and water in question.
- Thick vs Thin Convex Lenses: The focal length of a thick convex lens is less than that of a thin convex lens.
- Concave Lens Image Location: An object placed at the focus of a concave lens will produce an image at infinity.
- Lens Magnification: The magnification of a lens is always less than 1.
- Parallel Light through Convex Lens: A beam of parallel light rays incident obliquely on a convex lens converges at a point after refraction.
- Lens Power and Deviation: If a lens deviates a ray towards its center, the power is positive. If it deviates a ray away, the power is negative.
- Hypermetropia (Long Sightedness): Hypermetropia is corrected by using convex lenses.
- Lens Power and Focal Length: A convex lens of 0.25m focal length has 4 dioptre power.
- Magnification with Convex Lens: To obtain a magnification of -3 with a convex lens, the object must be placed between the optical center and the focus.
- Object Distance and Image Size (Convex Lens): When an object is placed between F and 2F of a convex lens, the image will be real and enlarged.
- Refractive Index and Ray Deviation: When the refractive index of the medium relative to the lens is 1 (equal), an oblique incident ray on a convex lens will pass undeviated.
- Blurred Image and Lens Movement: A blurred image on a screen due to a convex lens can be corrected by moving the lens towards or away from the screen (depending on the object's position).
- Lens Power Comparison: The power of a lens is inversely proportional to its focal length. The shorter the focal length, the greater the power.
- Focal Length in Water (Convex Lens): A double convex lens of glass with a 10 cm focal length in air, will have a different focal length when immersed in water. Among the given options, it is 7.5cm (or close to it)
- Concave Lens Images: A concave lens only forms virtual images.
- Object Distance & Concave Lens: When the object moves closer to a concave lens, the image shifts from the focus toward the optical center (getting closer to the lens).
- Hypermetropia Correction: Hypermetropia (long sightedness) is corrected with convex lenses.
- Focal Points and Principal Axis: The focal point (or focus) is a point on the principal axis of a lens. Light rays parallel to the principal axis, after passing through the lens, converge (or appear to diverge from) the focal point.
- Lens Properties (Image Characteristics): The type of image (enlarged/diminished, real/virtual, upright/inverted) produced by a lens depends on the object's distance from the lens and the lens' type.
- Galileo Telescope: Utilized as a terrestrial telescope and to magnify images.
- Refractive Index and Lens Behavior: When a convex lens is placed in a fluid with a higher refractive index than the lens, the parallel light rays bend less. Sign convention rules for u (object distance), f (focal length), and v (image distance) are applied in lens calculations.
- Optical Center and Lens Behavior: Light passing exactly through the center of a thin lens or a thin concave lens will not be affected. Thick lens interaction may vary.
- Ray Diagrams: Ray diagrams should be drawn both for a simple microscope and for a myopic eye correction.
