The Mathematics of Lenses
One theme of the Reflection and Refraction units of The Physics Classroom Tutorial has been that we see an object because light from the object travels to our eyes as we sight along a line at the object. Similarly, we see an image of an object because light from the object reflects off a mirror or refracts through a transparent material and travel to our eyes as we sight at the image location of the object. From these two basic premises, we have defined the image location as the location in space where light appears to diverge from. Because light emanating from the object converges or appears to diverge from this location, a replica or likeness of the object is created at this location. For both reflection and refraction scenarios, ray diagrams have been a valuable tool for determining the path of light from the object to our eyes.
Applying the Three Rules of Refraction
In this section of Lesson 5, we will investigate the method for drawing ray diagrams for objects placed at various locations in front of a double convex lens. To draw these ray diagrams, we will have to recall the three rules of refraction for a double convex lens:
Any incident ray traveling parallel to the principal axis of a converging lens will refract through the lens and travel through the focal point on the opposite side of the lens.
Any incident ray traveling through the focal point on the way to the lens will refract through the lens and travel parallel to the principal axis.
An incident ray that passes through the center of the lens will in effect continue in the same direction that it had when it entered the lens.
Earlier in this lesson, the following diagram illustrating the path of light from an object through a lens to an eye placed at various locations was shown.
