Keywords
Focal length, dioptre
Lesson objective; Lesson outcomes
Specification b) Correction of vision using convex and concave lenses to produce an image on the retina:
■ long sight, caused by the eyeball being too short, or the eye lens being unable to focus
■ short sight, caused by the eyeball being too long, or the eye lens being unable to focus. c) Range of vision. The eye can focus on objects between the near point and the far point. e) The power of a lens is given by:
P = 1 / F f) The focal length of a lens is determined by:
■ the refractive index of the material from which the lens is made, and
■ the curvature of the two surfaces of the lens. g) For a given focal length, the greater the refractive index, the flatter the lens. This means that the lens can be manufactured thinner
