at F: no clear image
inside F: larger, upright, same side as object(behind lens), virtual
How to Locate the Image in a Diverging Lens
1) A ray parallel to the principal axis is refracted as if it had come
through the principal focus(F).
2) A ray that appears to pass through the secondary principal
focus(F) is refracted parallel to the principal axis.
3) A ray through the optical centre (O) continues straight through
on its path.
Imaging Properties are always the same: smaller, upright, virtual and on the
same side of the lens as the object.
13.4-The Lens Equations
do= distance from the object to the optical centre
di= distance from the image to the optical centre
ho= height of the object
hi= height of the image
f= focal length of the lens; distance from the optical centre to the principal
focus(F)
THIN LENS EQUATION : 1/do+1/di= 1/f
-do is always positive
-di are positive for real images meanwhile negative for virtual
-f is positive for converging but negative for divergin
THE MAGNIFICATION EQUATION: M= hi/ho = -di/do
-ho and hi are positive when measured upward from principal axis and
opposite
-magnification is positive for upright and negative for inverted
