Lens Formula

A lens formula may be defined as the formula which gives the relationship between the distance of image (v), distance of object (u), and the focal length (f) of the lens. It may be written as:        Where,   v   =   Distance of image from optical centre of...

Formation of different types of images by convex lens

We will now discuss the formation of different types of images by a convex lens when the object is placed     1. At infinity 2. Beyond 2F 3. At 2F 4. Between F and 2F 5. At the focus F 6. Between the focus F and optical centre C 1. Image formed by a convex lens when...

Rules for obtaining images formed by spherical lens

Following are the rules which are used for obtaining the images formed by spherical lenses. A ray of light from the object parallel to the principal axis of a lens passes through the principal focus (of a convex lens) or appears to pass through the principal focus (of...
