THE LENS

EQUATION
YOU RAYS ME UP.
1. Graph the image using the ray diagram.
2. Identify the following in the formed image by
lens:
Location
Orientation
Size
Types
LESSON OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the lesson, learners should be


able to:
Determine the quantitative characteristics of
image formed by lenses.
Derive the lens equation.

Promote proper selection and use of lenses.


THE SIGN COVENTIONS FOR
LENSES
 • f is + if the lens is a double convex lens (converging lens)

 • f is - if the lens is a double concave lens (diverging lens)

 • q is + if the image is a real image and located behind the lens


 • q is - if the image is a virtual image and located on the object’s
side of the lens
 • h’ is + if the image is an upright image (and therefore, also
virtual)
 • h’ is - if the image an inverted image (and therefore, also real)
THEREFORE
If the focal length and the distance of the
image is POSTIVE (+) and the image height
is NEGATIVE (-) the lens is CONVEX

If the focal length and the distance of the


image is NEGATIVE (-)and the image height
is POSITIVE(+) the lens is CONCAVE
Lens Equation
𝟏 𝟏 𝟏
= +
𝒇 𝒒 𝒑
where:
f - focal length or distance from the mirror and the
focal point,F
p - distance of the object from the lens
q - distance of the image from the lens
Sample Problem
A 5.00-cm tall light bulb is placed at a distance of
45.0 cm from a convex lens having a focal length
of 10.5 cm. Determine the image distance and
the image size.
Given: Find:
height of the object, h = 5.00 cm distance of the image, q = ?
distance of the object, p = 45.0 cm height of the image, h’ = ?
focal point, f = 10.5 cm
GROUP ACTIVITY
An object is placed 33.7 cm
from the diverging lens with a
focal length of -10.7 cm.
Determine the image distance.
What is the image distance and
image size if a 5.00-cm tall light
bulb is
placed a distance of 45.5 cm from
a convex lens having a focal
length of 15.4 cm?
What is the image distance and
image size if a 3.00-cm tall light bulb
is placed a distance of 30.5 cm from
a diverging lens having a focal
length of -10.2 cm?
Determine the image distance
and image height for a 8.00-cm
tall object placed 46.5 cm from
a convex lens having a focal
length of 16.0 cm.
GUIDE QUESTIONS:

1.What particular devices or materials


do you use that has lens?
2.How can you use your
understanding of lenses in selecting
and using devices/ materials with
lens?
Answer the problem below.

A 3.10-cm diameter coin is placed a


distance of 25.0 cm from a concave
lens that has a focal length of -11.0 cm.
Determine the image distance and
the diameter of the image.
Thank
you!!!
