Review of Lenses
Preflight 23.11
Focal point determined by geometry and Snell’s Law:
n1 sin(q1) = n2 sin(q2)
P.A.
n1<n2
F
Fat in middle = Converging
Thin in middle = Diverging
Larger n2/n1 = more bending, shorter focal length.
n1 = n2 => No Bending, f = infinity
Lens in water has _________ focal length!

Preflight 23.7
A converging lens is used to project a real image onto a
screen. A piece of black tape is then placed over the upper
half of the lens.
48% 1. Only the lower half will show on screen
40% 2. Only the upper half will show on screen
12% 3. The whole object will still show on screen
How much of the image appears on the screen?

Still see entire image (but dimmer)!
Two very thin converging lenses each
with a focal length of 20 cm are are
placed in contact. What is the focal

Laser eye surgery changes Cornea
Lens and cornea have similar shape, and index of
refraction. Cornea has air/cornea interface 1.38/1, 70%
of bending. Lens has Lens/Vitreous interface 1.4/1.33.
Lens is important because it can change shape.

Near Point, Far Point
• Eye’s lens changes shape (changes f )
– Object at any do can have image be at retina
(di = approx. 25 mm)
• Can only change shape so much
• “Near Point”
– Closest do where image can be at retina
– Normally, ~25 cm (if far-sighted then further)
• “Far Point”
– Furthest do where image can be at retina
– Normally, infinity (if near-sighted then closer)
Preflight 23.10
Two people who wear glasses are camping.
One of them is nearsighted and the other is
farsighted. Which person’s glasses will be
useful in starting a fire with the sun’s rays?
Farsighted 68%
Nearsighted 32%

Farsighted person’s glasses are converging –
like magnifying glass!

The focal length of the lens of a simple camera is 40
mm. In what direction must the lens be moved to
“change the focus of the camera” from a person 25 m
away to a person 4.0 m away? i.e. does the image
distance increase or decrease?
1. Away from the film
2. Towards the film
