The concave lenses are used in correcting

is used in flashlights to spread out the beam
of light to cover a wide area. It can also be

Uses of Convex MIRROR

The convex mirror is used as side-view

mirror on the passenger’s side of a car
because it forms an erect and smaller image
for the way behind the car.

The convex mirror is suitable for convenient

shops, and big supermarkets and any other
corner for anti-thief purposes. It is used in
turning off the road and parking.

Characterizing the Image;Images are

characterized in the following way
TYPE: Virtual or Real
ORIENTATION: Upright or Inverted
MAGNIFICATION: Reduced, Enlarged,
Same Size
DIVERGING LENSES (concave lenses)
The Thin-Lens Equation Sign Convention
-Distances: positive for real
-negative for virtual
-Heights : positive above axis
-negative below axis

Concave Lens Ray Tracing

-Ray parallel to axis refracts as if it comes from
the first focus.
-Ray which lines up with the second focus
refracts parallel to the axis.
-Ray through the centre of the lens doesn’t
bend.

Concave Lens Image Distance

-As object distance decreases
-Image distance decreases
-Image size increases

LENS EQUATION
-Ray diagrams provide useful information
about object-image relationships, yet fail to
provide the
information in a quantitative form.
