Announcements
Physics 2135 spreadsheets for all sections, with Exam 3 scores,
will be available on the Physics 2135 web site.
Preliminary exam average is about xx.x% (xx sections out of 13
reporting). Comment. Scores ranged from a low of xx to a high of
xxx (x students). I will fill in the xx’s during the “live” lecture and in its “.ppt” file.
Physics 2135 Exam 3 will be returned in recitation tomorrow.
Please check that points were added correctly. Review the course
handbook and be sure to follow proper procedures before
requesting a regrade. Get your regrade requests in on time!
(They are due by Thursday of the week after the exam is returned
in recitation.)
Caution: it’s the points in the spreadsheet that count, not the
percent. Your points can go down if you miss boardworks!

Approximations Were Used!
The equations in this section are excellent approximations if
both the angles of incidence and refraction are small.
Sign Conventions
R is positive when it is in the medium into which the light
propagates. R is negative when it is in the medium from which
the light radiates.
The image distance is positive when the image is in the
medium into which the light propagates, and negative if it is in
the medium from which the light radiates (virtual image).
The object distance is positive when the object is in the
medium from which the light radiates (the usual case—a real
object), and negative if on the side opposite to the light
source (a virtual object).
These are really “the same” as for mirrors.
Example: a Jurassic mosquito is discovered embedded in an
amber sphere which has an index of refraction of 1.6. The
radius of curvature of the sphere is 3.0 mm. The mosquito is
located on the principal axis and appears to be imbedded 5.0
mm into the amber. How deep is the mosquito really?

The object is in the

The image is in the medium
from which the light radiates
so s’=-5.0 mm.

R is negative because it is in the medium from which the
light radiates. R=-3.0 mm.

Thin Lenses
A lens in this section is taken to be a single object made of
transparent material of refractive material n>1.
There are two surface boundaries.
Light from an object incident on
the first surface forms an image,
which becomes the object for the
second surface.
A thin lens is one for which the
distance from the object to each of
the two surfaces is the “same”
(and the distance from the image
to each surface is the “same”).
This would NOT
qualify as a thin lens.
I will make my lenses look “hollow,” like this.
There are several surface combinations from
which we can make lenses. Here are three
(there are more).
Converging and Diverging Lenses
Thin lenses can be converging or diverging.
The converging lens is thicker in the center. The diverging
lens is thicker at the edges.
There are focal points on both sides of each lens.
The focal length is the same whether light passes
from left to right or right to left.
There are two surfaces at which light
refracts. Our equations (provided later)
“automatically” take care of this.
In your diagrams, simply draw the incident
ray up to the center of the lens, then draw
the refracted ray in its final direction.
Ray Diagrams for Diverging Lenses
Ray 1 is parallel to the axis and refracts as if from F.
Ray 2 heads towards F’ before refracting parallel to the axis.
Ray 3 passes straight through the center of the lens.

F

F’
The image is virtual and upright. It is smaller than the object.
Converging and Diverging Lenses
The image formed by a converging lens may be real, inverted,
and either smaller or larger than the object. It may also be
virtual, upright, and larger than the object. See this web page.
The image formed by a diverging lens is always virtual,
upright, and smaller than the object. See the same web page.
Do these lens properties remind you of anything else you’ve
studied recently?

Handy quick reference card from Dr. Hale:

Homework Hint
If Problem 34.32 is assigned:
the image is 80 times larger than the object.
The object is very close to the lens compared to the image.
A ray diagram will be difficult to draw!
Do your best; maybe just make a diagram suggesting
how the rays converge “far” from the lens.
Lens combination problem: suggested as a Final Exam
problem last spring. See what you think of it.

The focal length f is positive for converging lenses and
negative for diverging lenses.
The object distance s is positive if the object is on the side of
the lens from which the light is coming; otherwise s is
negative.
The image distance s’ is positive if the image is on the
opposite side of the lens from where the light is coming;
otherwise s’ is negative. (If s’ is negative, is the image real?)
The image height y’ is positive if the image is upright and
negative if the image is inverted relative to the object.
Example: an object is located 5 cm in front of a converging
lens of 10 cm focal length. Find the image distance and
magnification. Is the image real or virtual?
It’s just a coincidence that
the image is located at F’.

Image distance is 10 cm, image is on side of lens light is
coming from, so image is virtual. M=2 so image is upright.
Summary of Sign Conventions
Mirrors
Lenses
The focal length f is positive for
converging lenses and negative for
diverging lenses.
When the object, image, or focal
point is on the reflecting side of the
mirror, the distance is positive.
The object distance s is positive if the
object is on the side of the lens from
which the light is coming; otherwise s is
negative (and the object is virtual).
When the object, image, or focal
point is “behind” the mirror, the
distance is negative.
The image distance s’ and radius of
curvature R are positive if the image is
on the side of the lens into which the
light is going; otherwise negative.
The image height is positive if the
image is upright, and negative if the
image is inverted relative to the object.
The image height is positive if the
image is upright, and negative if the
image is inverted relative to the object.
Summary of Sign Conventions
Here’s a more compact way of expressing the sign
conventions all at once.
Object Distance. When the object is on the same side as
the incoming light, the object distance is positive (otherwise
is negative).
Image Distance. When the image is on the same side as
the outgoing light, the image distance is positive (otherwise
is negative).
Radius of Curvature. When the center of curvature C is on
the same side as the outgoing light, R is positive (otherwise
is negative).
“Image Distance. When the image is on the same side as
the outgoing light, the image distance is positive (otherwise
is negative).”
If the image distance is negative, can the image be real?
