PPT-CONVEX LENSES

Lenses A convex lens or a converging lens converges parallel light rays passing through it Various shapes of convex lenses Terms for describing lenses Optical centre is the centre of a lens. Physics 2415 Lecture 33. Michael Fowler, . UVa. Today’s Topics. A bit more about mirrors…. Refraction. Lenses. Ray tracing to locate image. Concave Mirror Focusing Sunlight. This solar collector is really many small flat mirrors, but equivalent to a concave mirror focusing parallel rays to a point half way from the center of the mirror to its center of curvature.. . How Do Your Eyes Help You See?. A lens is a curved surface, like a piece of glass or plastic.. Its curved shape makes light bend.. Lenses can make objects appear bigger or smaller to our eyes.. What is a lens?. Chapter 19. Reflection. The smooth surface of the lake reflects light rays so that the observer sees an inverted image of the landscape.. Law of Reflection. The law of reflection states that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. . Recognise and use key words relating to lenses:. Focus / focal point, focal length. Optic centre. Principal axis. Use ray tracing to find the location of images in lenses.. Describe the images formed in lenses.. . How Do Your Eyes Help You See?. A lens is a curved surface, like a piece of glass or plastic.. Its curved shape makes light bend.. Lenses can make objects appear bigger or smaller to our eyes.. What is a lens?. Light. Light Energy. Light Energy. Energy is the ability to cause things to change. Light is a type of energy. Without light no one can see anything. Light gives things color. Light shines on plants and makes them grow. Some doctors use light energy to perform operations with lasers. Light energy can make cars move. Satellites turn light into electricity in space.. Transparent substances refract light. It’s not magic… it’s science!. How light Refracts. Refraction is due to changes in the speed of light.. In space, light travels at 300 000 km/s. Space is a vacuum, and there are no particles to get in the way of light and slow it down.. S4P1 Students will investigate the nature of light using tools such as mirrors, lenses, and prisms. ..  . c. . Identify the physical attributes of a convex lens, a concave lens, and a prism and where each is used. . Section 1 . Mirrors. A. . Light is necessary for eyes to see. 1. . Light waves spread in all directions from a light.. 2. . The brain interprets light waves as traveling in a straight line.. B. Plane mirror. Lenses. A transparent object used to change the path of light. Examples: . Human eye. Eye glasses. Camera. Microscope. Telescope. Reading stones used by monks, nuns, and scholars ~1000 C.E.. Lenses . Section 1: Objectives. Use. ray diagrams to show how light is reflected or refracted.. . Compare . plane mirrors, concave mirrors, and convex mirrors.. . Use. ray diagrams to show how mirrors form images.. Transparent/Translucent/Opaque. WS. Take out NASA picture (from Friday). Homework: Read & take notes on chapter 23, section 3 (last one - you finished the book). Review & reinforce Study Island & Skills Tutor due Thursday. Reading and Math Skills Tutor due Friday (last one).. Michael Fowler, . UVa. Today’s Topics. A bit more about mirrors…. Refraction. Lenses. Ray tracing to locate image. Concave Mirror Focusing Sunlight. This solar collector is really many small flat mirrors, but equivalent to a concave mirror focusing parallel rays to a point half way from the center of the mirror to its center of curvature.. Also called, why the human eye is spherical instead of flat.. Ever wondered…?. Objectives. WWBAT…. Describe how an image is formed by a thin convex lens. Determine . the location of image formation for a thin convex lens.
