Physics P3 1.6 Using lenses.

?
What can be drawn to find the position and nature of an image formed by a lens?
A ray diagram.
1 of 13
What image is formed when an object is placed between a converging lens and F?
The image formed is virtual, upright, magnified and on the same side of the lens as the object.
2 of 13
What lens does a camera contain and what is it used to form?
A converging lens that is used to form a real image of an object.
3 of 13
What type of lens is a magnifying glass and what is it used to form?
A converging lens that is used to form a virtual image of an object.
4 of 13
What can we draw ray diagrams to find?
The image that different lenses produce with objects in different positions.
5 of 13
What is the line through the centre of the lens and at right angles to it called?
The principal axis, and this should be included in your diagrams.
6 of 13
Why do ray diagra s use three construction rays from a single point on the object?
To locate the corresponding point on the image.
7 of 13
What happens to a ray parallel to the principal axis?
It is refracted through the principal focus.
8 of 13
What happens to a ray through the centre of the lens?
It travels straight on, without refraction.
9 of 13
What happens to a ray through the principal focus?
It is refracted parallel to the principal axis.
10 of 13
What are construction rays?
Rays drawn on a diagram to determine the position and nature of an image.
11 of 13
Is the image formed in a camera real or virtual?
Real.
