Refraction of light through a Convex Lens

Lens diagram a cross section through the

centre plane.

Simple convex (curves outwards) lens

Simple concave (curves inwards) lens

Convex lens

Concave lens

Lens is in a vertical plane, straight up and

down on the page.

This distance from the centre of the lens to the

focus point, will be given to you as a point on a

diagram or a measurement such as 3cm.

Light rays converge at this point.

A real image is formed. A real image

can be projected onto a screen.

F1 F1F2 F2

A real image is formed. A real image

can be projected onto a screen.

The image is inverted (up-side down) and

smaller than the original object.

When the object is located beyond 2 focal

lengths (F2)

F1 F1F2 F2

When the object is located beyond 2 focal

lengths (F2)

The image created is real, inverted and smaller than the original object.

F1 F1F2 F2

When the object is located beyond 2 focal

lengths (F2)

The image created is real, inverted and smaller than the original object.

The rays converge between 1 and 2

focal lengths

F1 F1F2 F2

Other rays can be added from different points on the object

These extra rays all converge at the same point between 1 and 2

focal lengths.

F1 F1F2 F2

These extra rays are unnecessary for our

purposes.

F1 F1F2 F2

Draw rays only from the top point of your object.

This will keep your diagram simple and easy to understand
