The characteristics of the image formed by a concave lens is not dependent upon the distance of the object from the lens. Characteristics of the image : 1.virtual 2 upright, 3. between the object and the lens 4. smaller in size than the object.

Linear magnification, m

m = Height of image, hi Height of object, ho

OR

m = Image distance , v Object distance , u

Thus

m = hi = v ho u

If m > 1 the size of the image is bigger than the size of the object. If m < 1 the size of an image is smaller than the size of the object. If m = 1 the image size is equals the object size.

Lens Power power (D) = 1______ focal length (m)

remember ! the unit of focal length is in meter (m)

the unit for power is diopter (D)

Use of Lenses in Optical Devices 1.Magnifying lens

--The object to be magnified must be at a distance that is lesser than the focal length of the lens.

-- characeristic of the image : virtual, magnified, upright and located at the back of the object 2. Camera

--Characteristic of the image : real, inverted and smaller in size 3. Slide projector

-- The slide must be placed between Fand 2F of the projector. -- characteristic of the image : real, magnified and inverted 4. Astronomy telescope

magnification = eye lens power objective lens power = Focal length of the objective lens, fo Focal length of the eye lens , fe fo > fe

--

-- The total distance between the objective lens and eye lens = fo + fm -- Characteristics of the initial image : real, inverted and diminished in size at its focal point -- Characteristics of the final image : virtual, inverted, magnified and located at infinity. 5. Compound microscope

-- fm > fo -- The total distance between the objective lens and eye lens > fo + fm -- Characteristics of the initial image : real, inverted, magnified and is formed at a distance greater than 2F0 -- Characteristics of the final image : virtual, inverted and larger than the object

2. Presbyobia is an inability of the eye to adjust the focusing of far and near objects. This usually happens when we get old, where the ciliary muscle is less

able to change the shape of the eye lens to focus the image on the retina , as shown in figure 2.1 and 2.2.

- Because it has a diverging and converging ability [1] - Its upper part is a diverging lens which can correct the vision when viewing far object [1] - It diverges the rays further, to make them focused on the retina [1] - Its lower part is a converging lens which can correct the vision when viewing near objects. It converges the rays to make them focused at the retina. [1] (ii) - Design A can only correct the vision when viewing near object, but not far objects. [1] - Design C can only correct the vision when viewing far object , but not near objects. [1] (iii) - High refractive index glass is most suitable. [1] - High refractive index glass can converge or diverge light rays more than low refractive index glass. [1] - Therefore lenses made with high index refractive glass is thinner and l lighter. [1]
