13th
Topic/Activities
Lens Basics
1. Converging Lens
2. Diverging Lens
3. Terminology of Converging Lenses
4. Terminology of Diverging Lenses
Homework
Learning Goals
 I will be able to
distinguish between
shape of converging
(convex) and diverging
(concave) lenses
 I will be able to
communicate the
properties of converging
and diverging lenses
 Using ray diagrams, I
will be able to determine
how light achieves a
principal focus point
after passing through a
lens
Success Criteria
 key terminology: converging lens, convex lens, diverging
lens, concave lens, axis of symmetry, optical centre,
principal focus, secondary principal focus, principal axis,
incident ray, refracted ray, focal length
 label convex and concave lenses
 a converging lens brings parallel light rays together
through a focus after refraction
 a diverging lens spreads parallel light rays apart after
refraction so that it looks as if they have come from a
virtual focus
 the principal focus of a converging lens in on the
OPPOSITE side of the lens as the incident rays
 the principal focus of a diverging lens is on the SAME
side of the lens as the incident rays
Diverging Lenses (a.k.a. Concave Lenses)
1. Concave lens ray characteristics (diverging)
2. Images formed by a concave lens
3. How to locate the image in a concave lens
Copy table 11.6 on
page 451 into your
notes.

I will be able to explain
the three rules for
diverging lens imaging
I will be able to predict
image characteristics for
a light source at various
distances from diverging
lens
Using a ray diagram, I
will be able to locate
virtual image formed by
diverging lens

QUIZ: Mirrors (terminology, ray diagrams for
plane, concave, and convex mirrors, calculating
magnification, applying SALT, NEED A
SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR!)
Converging Lenses (a.k.a. Convex Lenses)
1. Convex lens ray characteristics (converging)
2. Images formed by a convex lens
3. How to locate the image in a convex lens

key terminology: diverging lens (concave)
a diverging lens always produces a smaller, upright,
virtual image, on same side as object
label a diverging lens ray diagram with optical centre, F,
2F, F’, 2F’, principal axis, axis of symmetry
key terminology: converging lens (convex)
when an object is beyond 2F’ the image is smaller,
inverted, located between 2F and F, and is real
when an object is at 2F’, the image is the same size,
inverted, located at 2F, and is real
when an object is between 2F’ and F’, the image is larger,
inverted, beyond 2F, and is real
when an object is at F’, no clear image is formed
when inside of F’, the image is larger, upright, on the
same side at the object (behind lens), and is virtual
