What is a Convex Lens also known as?
A Converging Lens
What is a Concave Lens also known as?
A Diverging Lens
Describe how a Convex lens is Refracted
Refracted so that they pass through the focal point of the lens (real)
Describe how a Concave lens is Refracted
Refracted so that they spread out from the focal point of the Concave Lens (virtual)
Position of Object (Beyond 2F) - Position of Image / Size / Application
Between F and 2F / Smaller / Camera
Position of Object (At 2F) - Position of Image / Size / Application
2F (opposite side of the lens) / Same Size / Telescope erecting lens
Position of Object (Between F and 2F) - Position of Image / Size / Application
Beyond 2F / Magnified / Cinema Projector
Position of Object (At F) - Position of Image / Size / Application
At Infinity (opposite side of lens) / Magnified / Search Light
Position of Object (Closer than F) - Position of Image / Size / Application
Same Side as Object / Magnified / Magnifying Glass
Position of Object (Object at Infinity) - Position of Image / Size / Application
At F / Smaller / Camera
What object position results in the nature of the image being Virtual instead of Real?
Closer than F (Image is on the same side as the object)
What object position results in the Orientation of the image being Upright instead of Inverted?
Closer than F (Image is on the same side as the object)
What does a convex lens look like?
Fat in the middle, thin at the top
What does a concave lens look like?
Thin in the middle, Fat at the top
