Explanation A virtual image is one in which the light rays diverges and appears to originate from the focal point after passing through the lens. A virtual image is formed on the object side of the lens. A diverging lens always forms a virtual image. A real image is one in which the light rays converges to the focal point after passing through the lens. A real image is formed on the opposite side of lens from the object and can be seen on a screen. Demonstration to friend using converging lens: The focal length is used as a reference point for calculating the position of image and its size for the object distance and its size...

Ray Optics

Optics is the study of light in the field of physics. It refers to the study and properties of light. Optical phenomena can be classified into three categories: ray optics, wave optics, and quantum optics. Geometrical optics, also known as ray optics, is…

Converging Lens

Converging lens, also known as a convex lens, is thinner at the upper and lower edges and thicker at the center. The edges are curved outwards. This lens can converge a beam of parallel rays of light that is coming from outside and focus it on a point on…

Plano-Convex Lens

To understand the topic well we will first break down the name of the topic, ‘Plano Convex lens’ into three separate words and look at them individually.

Lateral Magnification

In very simple terms, the same object can be viewed in enlarged versions of itself, which we call magnification. To rephrase, magnification is the ability to enlarge the image of an object without physically altering its dimensions and structure. This pr…
