Q

convex lenses

A

converge light rays

21
Q

concave lenses

A

diverge light rays

22
Q

remember how to do ray tracing diagrams

23
Q

if the object is at 2F

A

real image, inverted,same size as object at 2F

24
Q

if the object is between F and 2 f

A

real image, inverted, bigger and further than 2F

25
if the object is closer than F
virtual image, right way up, on same side, and bigger
26
power of lens=
1/focal length
27
1/f=
1/u + 1/v
28
for the eye you need to know the
basic structure
29
the iris is
the coloured part of the eye
30
the pupil is
the hole in the middle of the iris
31
the cornea is
transparent
32
the light is focused on the
retina
33
the lens is controlled by
the ciliary muscles
34
the far point is
the furthest distance that the eye can focus comfortably
35
the near point is
the closest distance the eye can focus on
36
on average, distances are
infinity, and 25 cm
37
short sighted people can't focus on
distant objects
38
long sighted people can't focus on
close objects
39
short sight can be corrected with
diverging lenses
40
long sight can be corrected with
converging lenses
41
sight can be corrected with
contact lenses or laser eye surgery
42
treatment for vision defect depends on
patient
43
every transparent material has
a refractive index
44
snell's law says
n= sin i/ sin r
45
total internal relfection depends on
angle of incidence
46
greater than critical angle means that
no light comes out and all is totally internally reflected
47
critical angles can be found using
snell's law
48
sin C=
refractive index of where the light is travelling to/ refractive index of where the light starts from
