In ray diagrams, it is automatically assumed that thin lenses are used. A thin lens is characterized by a very small diameter compared to the radii of the two surfaces. It allows the light to refract once but does not include any aberration or dispersion of light. In addition, all light ...
Learn the definition of a lens and the different types of lenses. Understand what convex lens and concave lens are and explore how to use the thin...
A ray diagram is a tool that is used to determine the location, size, orientation, and type of image formed by a mirror. Ray diagrams for concave mirrors were drawn in Lesson 3. In this lesson, we will see a similar method for constructing ray diagrams for convex mirrors. Step-by-Step...
Ray DiagramsResult The focal length of the given lens is 10 cm.PrecautionsThe focal length of the convex lens must be between 15 to 20 cm. Use thin convex lens of small aperture. Perform this experiment in calm air to avoid the flickering of the candle flame. To obtain distinct and ...
Any light ray that passes (for a concave mirror) or appears to pass (for a convex mirror) through the center of curvature retraces its initial path after reflection by the curved mirror.Lens: It is a piece of transparent medium. Most lenses are spherical lenses,their two surfaces are parts...

Explain about reflection and refraction at ray diagrams. What happens when an object is placed at the focus of a concave mirror? Difference between reflection and refraction. Is light reflected or refracted? A ray of light begins in air (n=1) and shines off the surface of a block of glass...
(II) A planoconvex lens (Fig. 33–2a) has one flat surface and the other has R = 15.3 cm. This lens is used to view a red and yellow object which is 62.0 cm away from the lens. The index of refraction of the glass is 1.5106 for red light and 1...
Historian of science Ursula Klein has introduced the term "paper tool" to describe this kind of function in the case of early chemical formulas, and in the present contribution I will argue that optical ray-tracing diagrams acted as "paper tools" in Della Porta's optical writings. Thanks to...
