Vergence(1)
How do we specify the extent to which the incident/emergent
rays converge or diverge?
Rays of Light Diverging from a Point Object

curved (i.e. has less vergence)

Sample Calculation 1:
Light is made to converge by a lens in air to a point that is
75cm from the lens. Find the vergence of the wavefront when
the ray leaves the lens, and at 50cm and 100cm from the lens.

At point P we apply the law of
refraction to obtain
n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ 2
Using the small angle
approximation we obtain
n1θ1 = n2 θ 2
Substituting for the angles θ 1 and
θ 2 we obtain
n1 ( α − ϕ ) = n2 ( α ′ − ϕ )

Thin lenses
• A lens is a simple coaxial system and it is an optical system
including two refracting surfaces.
• If the thickness of a lens is much smaller than curvature
radius, the object and image distances, the thickness of the lens
can be negligible in comparison with them. Such a lens is called
thin lens.
• Lens can converge and diverge light.

Cardinal Points of a Thin Lens System
•Two or more thin lenses form a “thin lens system”
•The principles & equations which described the thick lens also
describe thin lens systems
•The equation for the equivalent power of a thin lens pair is:
DE = D1 + D2 – t D1D2
D1 and D2 are the powers of the thin lenses and t is the distance
between them; d must be measured in metres.
•The positions of the principal points are found in the same way as
for the thick lens, i.e. by using the vertex powers to locate the focal
points: Front vertex Back vertex

Sample Calculation:
A lens system consists of a +5D lens and a +2D lens separated by
8cm. Find the equivalent focal length and the positions of the
principal points. An object 3cm tall is situated 50cm in front of the
first lens. What will be the position and size of the image produced
by the combination?

The two lenses can be considered as combined to form a single thick lens whose
principal points and focal length are calculated. It, in turn, is combined with the third
lens, and so on with each successive element.
The same procedures can be extended to systems with 3, 4, 5, …. or more lenses.

Location of Image
To locate an image, we need to track a minimum of two rays coming from the
same point.
It will be convenient to take one ray
i) along the optic axis for mirrors and
ii) going through the center of the lens.

Example: A searchlight
Suppose we need to create a parallel beam of light, as in a searchlight. Where should we place the
lightbulb? A parallel beam has zero angle between its rays, so θ i = 0. To place the lightbulb
correctly, however, we need to know a distance, not an angle: the distance u between the bulb and
the mirror. Since 1/v = θ i = 0, it implies θ 0=θ f, i.e. u = f. The bulb has to be placed at a distance
from the mirror equal to its focal point.
Example: Diopters
An equation like v =1/θ i really doesn’t make sense in terms of units. Angles are unitless, since
radians aren’t really units, so the right-hand side is unitless. We can’t have a left-hand side with
units of distance if the right-hand side of the same equation is unitless. In real life, optometrists
define the thing θ i=1/v as the “dioptric strength” of a lens or mirror, and measure it in units of
inverse meters (m –1 ), also known as diopters (1 D = 1 m –1 ).
