Convex Lenses When an object is placed at a distance d, from a lens of focal length f, and d, is greater than f, the rays hitting the lens will form a real image on the other side, at a distance d; from the lens. The object distance do, image distance d, and focal length f are related by the "Thin Lens Equation": 1 1 1 %3D do di The height of the image h; is usually different than the height of the original object ho. The factor by which the image is bigger than the object is called the Magnification M of the image. The magnification depends on the distances d, and d; if the image is farther from the lens than the object, it will be bigger than the object. hị M = ho dį do If the magnification is positive, the image is "right side up"; if it is negative, the image is upside down or "inverted." In this exercise, you will use the above equations to see what happens to the image as you move an object closer and closer to the lens. We are looking for patterns, to see how the variables change in relation to each other. Directions: Here are some practice problems to make you familiar with these concepts. Please review the following. An object is placed at four different distances from a convex lens with f = 20.0 cm: a) d. = 60.0 cm b) do = 50.0 cm c) do = 40.0 cm d) do = 30.0 cm %3D 1. For each distance, calculate the image distance d;.
Refraction of Light
Refraction is a change in the direction of light rays when they travel from one medium to another. It is the bending of light when it goes through different media.
Angle of Refraction
Light is considered by many scientists to have dual nature, both particle nature and wave nature. First, Particle nature is one in which we consider a stream of packets of energy called photons. Second, Wave nature is considering light as electromagnetic radiation whereas part of it is perceived by humans. Visible spectrum defined by humans lies in a range of 400 to 700 nm wavelengths.
Index of Refraction of Diamond
Diamond, the world’s hardest naturally occurring material and mineral known, is a solid form of the element carbon. The atoms are arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic. They exist in a huge variety of colours. Also, they are one of the best conductors of heat and have a very high melting point.
