Properties of image formed by converging lens

The object distance is smaller than the focal length of the convex lens (do < f)

Based on the calculation of the image formation by the convex lens, it can be concluded that the object distance (do) is smaller than the focal length (f) of the convex lens, the image properties are:

– Virtual means the beam of light does not pass through the image

– Upright

– The farther the object is from the convex lens, the greater the image size

– The farther the object is from the convex lens, the image farther away from the convex lens

Before learning the equation of the convex lens, understand the sign rules of the convex lens below.

Sign rules of the convex lens

The object distance (do)

If an object is passed through a beam of light, then the object distance is positive.

The image distance (di)

If the beam of light passes the image, then the image distance is positive (real image). If the beam of light does not pass through the image, the image distance is negative (virtual image).

To understand the image formation by the convex lens, learn example problems and solution below. In this case, the object is assumed to be at a certain distance from the convex lens,

then draw the image formation by the convex lens, the image distance from the convex lens and the magnification of the image by the convex lens.

The convex lens has a focal length of 20 cm. Objects with a height of 10 cm are located to the left of the lens. Determine the image distance, the magnification of the image and the image height, if:

Definition of the convex lens

One type of lens used in everyday life is the convex lens. The convex lens is a lens with a thicker middle while the edges are thinner. Convex lenses are usually circular and made of glass so that the lens has the refractive index higher than the refractive index of the air.

Types of the convex lenses

In general, there are three types of the convex lenses, in which the shape of the convex lens is as shown below (side view).

Definition of the concave lenses

One type of lens used in everyday life is the concave lens. A concave lens is a lens with a thinner center while thicker edges. The concave lenses are usually circular, although there are also lenses that are not circular. The concave lenses, like convex lenses, are made of glass so that the lens has a refractive index greater than the refractive index of the air.
