• Refraction is the change in direction of light when it passes through matter.
Refraction of light
• When a ray of light traveling through a transparent medium encounters a boundary leading into another transparent medium, part of the ray is reflected and part enters the second medium .
• The ray that enters the second medium is bent at the boundary and is said to be refracted .

• At the boundary between any two given materials, the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is constant for rays of any particular wavelength (previous figure). This is known as Snell’s Law .

A thin lens is one whose thickness is small compared to its focal length, f .
Ray diagrams can be drawn to determine the location and size of the image .

Ray Diagrams
Image Formation by Thin Lenses
Ray 1 : A ray entering a converging lens parallel to its axis passes through the focal point F of the lens on the other side.
Ray 2 : A ray entering a converging lens through its focal point exits parallel to its axis.
Ray 3 : A ray passing through the center of the lens does not change direction.

Image Formation by Thin Lenses
Ray 1 : A ray entering a diverging lens parallel to its axis seems to come from the focal point F.
Ray 2 : A ray that enters a diverging lens by heading toward the focal point on the opposite side exits parallel to its axis.
Ray 3 : A ray passing through the center of the lens does not change direction.
92
Image Formation by Thin Lenses
• If the image is real , the position of the image point is determined by intersection of any two rays 1, 2 and 3 .
• Real image is formed on the back side of the lens.
(OPPOSITE SIDE)
• If the image is virtual , we extend the diverging outgoing rays backward to their intersection point to seek the image point.
• Virtual image is formed on the front side of the lens. (SAME SIDE)
