READING SELECTION 1
Thin Lenses

The most important simple optical device is the thin lens. The development of optical
devices using lenses dates to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, although the earliest
record of eyeglasses dates from the late thirteenth century. Today we find lenses in
eyeglasses, cameras, magnifying glasses, telescopes, binoculars, microscopes, and medical
instruments. A thin lens is usually circular, and its two faces are proportions of a sphere. The
two faces can be concave, convex, or plane. Several types are in your kit on your table. The
importance of lenses is that they form images of objects.
Consider parallel rays striking the convex lens.

The PRINCIPAL AXIS of a lens is a straight line passing through the center of the
lens and perpendicular to its two surfaces. From Snell’s Law, we can see that each ray is bent
toward the axis when the ray enters the lens and again when it leaves the lens at the back
surface. (Note the dashed lines indicating the normal to each surface for the top ray.) If rays
parallel to the axis fall on a thin lens, they will be focused to a point called the FOCAL POINT,
F.
The distance of the focal point from the center of the lens is called the FOCAL
LENGTH,f. A lens can be turned around so that light can pass through it from the opposite
side. The focal length is the same on both sides.
Any lens that is thicker in the center than at the edges will make parallel rays converge
to a point, and is called a CONVERGING LENS.
Lenses that are thinner in the center than at the edges are called DIVERGING
LENSES because they make parallel light diverge.
 The focal point, F, of a diverging lens is defined as that point from which refracted
rays, originating from parallel incident rays, seem to emerge. And the distance from F to the
center of the lens is called the FOCAL LENGTH, f.

READING SELECTION 2
Ray Tracing

RAY 1 is drawn parallel to the axis, therefore it is refracted by the lens so that it
passes along a line through the focal point F behind the lens.
RAY 2 is drawn to pass through the other focal point F’ and emerge from the lens
parallel to the axis.
RAY 3 is directed toward the very center of the lens, where the two surfaces are
essentially parallel to each other. This ray therefore emerges from the lens at the same angle
as it entered. The ray would be displaced slightly to one side but since we assume the lens is
thin, we draw ray 3 straight.

The point where these three rays cross is the image point for that object point.
Actually, any two of these rays will suffice to locate the image point, but drawing the third
ray can serve as a check.
Using these three rays for one object point, we can find the image point for that point
of the object. The image points for all other points on the object can be found similarly to
determine the complete image of the object. Because the rays actually pass through the
image, it is a REAL IMAGE.

By drawing the same three rays emerging from a single object point, we can determine
the image position formed by a DIVERGING LENS. Note that ray 1 is drawn parallel to the
axis, but does not pass through the focal point F’ behind the lens. Instead it seems to come
from the focal point F in front of the lens. Ray 2 is directed toward F’ and is refracted
parallel to the lens axis by the lens. Ray 3 passes directly through the center of the lens. This
three refracted rays seem to emerge from a point on the left of the lens. This is the image
point, I. Because the rays do not pass through the image, it is a VIRTUAL IMAGE. Note that
the eye does not distinguish between real and virtual images – both are visible.
