LENSES
What are lenses?
Lenses came from the Latin word for “lentil”, a type of bean
used in cooking
How do lenses work?
•Refraction is the bending of light as it
passes from one transparent substance into
another.
Refracted rays
light rays
Types of lenses
Concave Lens
Convex Lens
* It is thicker at the center than the edges
* It forms real images and virtual images
depending on the position of the object.
• It is thicker at the edges and
thinner at the center
• It forms upright, reduced
image and virtual image
Types of lenses
Convex Lens
A convex lens is also called
converging lens because it
makes parallel light rays
passing through it bend
inward and converge at a
spot just beyond the lens
know as focal point (F)
Types of lenses
Concave Lens
A concave lens is
sometimes called
diverging lens because
it makes parallel light
rays curve outward or
diverge

• Vertex (V) – the geometric center of a lens
• Focal /Focus (F)- The point where light rays converge or appear to converge when parallel rays pass
through a lens
• Focal length- the distance from the vertex to the focal point
note: twice the focal length you have 2f , which will help you in describing the image FORM BY A LENS

Three Most useful Rays for ray Diagramming
for Lenses
Where:
P- Parallel ray
F- Focal Point/Focus
V- Vertex
P-F Ray
F-P Ray
V- Ray
At least two of these rays can be used to describe the
images formed by a lens
Three Most useful Rays in Lenses
Convex Lens Concave Lens
A ray of light parallel to the
principal axis is refracted passing
though the principal focus, F
located behind the lens
A ray of light parallel to the principal
axis is refracted passing though the
principal focus, F located in front of
the lens

Convex Lens Concave Lens
A ray of light passing through the
focus, F in front of the lens is
refracted parallel to the principal
axis.
A ray of light directed towards the
focus, F behind the lens is refracted
parallel to the principal axis.

Inverted image
Positive (+) value of the distance of image (d )
Negative (-) value of the height of image (-h1)
(means inverted, therefore real image)
Negative (-) value of the magnification (-M)
(means real image)
Formed in front of a lens and CAN BE
projected on a screen
Upright image
Negative (-) value of the distance of image (-d)
Positive (+) value of the height of image (h)
(means upright, therefore virtual image)
Positive (+) value of magnification (M)
(means virtual image)
Formed in front of a lens and CANNOT be
projected on a screen
Sample Ray Diagramming of Convex
Lens
Note: the image will be drawn inverted if the refracted rays merge or
converge in the lower or below the principal axis
1.Using a ruler and a pencil, draw the principal axis on a piece of
paper.
2.Draw the lens and then a vertical line that crosses lens.
3.Mark two important points in the principal axis, the Vertex, Focal
Point/Focus, and the 2F (twice the value of focal length).
4.Draw the object in front of the lens based on the given location.
5.From the tip of the object, draw at least two of these rays : P-F Ray,
F-P ray, or V ray
6.From the point where the actual refracted rays merged to the
principal axis, draw the inverted image of the object.
