Refraction in Biconcave Lens Now let’s investigate the refraction of light by double concave lens. Suppose that several rays of light approach the lens; and suppose that these rays of light are travelling parallel to the principal axis. Upon reaching the front face of the lens‚ each ray of light will refract towards the normal to the surface. At this boundary‚ the light ray is passing from air into a more dense medium (usually plastic or glass). Since the light ray is passing from a medium in

the Thin-Lens Equation: Where f is the focal length of the lens‚ do is the object distance and di is the image distance. From the Thin-Lens Equation we are able to mathematically see and understand many interesting and valuable situations that arise when working with lenses. When the object is the same distance from the lens as the image‚ for instance‚ we can easily verify that the focal length must equal half the image (object) distance or if the object is very far away from the lens (at infinity)

Method: Place a mounted pin at a distance from the convex lens greater than the focal length so that a real image of the pin is produced. Locate this image by means of the second pin. Place the convex mirror between this second pin and the lens and adjust its position until the light reflected from the mirror passes back through the lens and forms an image coincident with the object

are perceived by the eye and the lens is the part that makes this possible. Objects which are close to the eye are seen by the eyes’s lens becoming thicker and more bulbous in order to create a lens with a higher refractive index for detailed sight‚ i.e. for close work like sewing . The CILIARY MUSCLE contracts‚ pulling the Ciliary process and Choroid towards the lens. Tension is therefore released ob both the SUSPENSORY LIGAMENTS and the lens and this makes the lens able to focus the light rays

The focal length of the lens used is calculated to be 31 mm. The lens used in the experiment was a converging lens as the image was 3. Calculate the focal length of the given converging lens based on the measurements of s and s ’ and thin lens equation. Tabulate your results (for all the three trials)

magnification on a microscope? Answer: The shortest lens is the scanning objective; you use it to locate the object on the slide. The medium-length lens is the low-power objective. The longest lens is the high-power objective. Multiplying the power of the eyepiece lens and the nose piece lens gives you the total number of times an object will magnified. (4 points) Score 2. Explain how to focus a microscope using the high power lens. Include any safety issues you need to be aware of.
