Q

Equation for power of a lens

A

p = 1/f

f = focal length

17
Q

In a calculation for correcting hypermetropia, what value of u and v are used? Will f be + or -? Why?

A

u = 0.25
v = original np (- because image is virtual)

+ because converging lens is used

18
Q

In a calculation for correcting myopia, what values of u and v are used? Will f come out + or -?why?

A

u = infinity
v = original fp (-)

  • because diverging lens is used
19
Q

Distinguish between a real and a virtual image

A

Real image is formed by 2 or more real rays of light
Virtual images are formed by both real and virtual rays of light
