Lenses adding convergence to light rays
are plus
lenses adding divergence to light rays
are minus
all distance to left or in front of a lens are
negative
all distance to right or behind the lens are
positive
what is U in the equation U + D =V
vergence of light entering the lens (in diopters)
What is V in the equation U+D=V
vergence of light exiting the lens (in diopters)
What is D in the equation U+D=V
dioptric power of the lens
How do we solve for distance when given diopters
D=1/m
Define a real image
a real image is formed by converging light rays. can be projected onto a screen, and is on the same side as the outgoing light rays
define a real object
a real object is on the same side as the incoming light rays
Define a virtual image
is created by light rays diverging from an optical system and extrapolated back to the image point, they canot be focused onto a screen, and are located on the opposite side as the outgoing light rays
Define a virtual object
object is on the opposite side as the incoming light rays
define the primary focal point
this is the point where an object must be placed so that the given lens will form an image at infinity (V=0)
how does primary focal point work for a plus lens
at some point in front of a lens the negative value of the diverging light rays from that point will match the dioptric power of the lens and light rays will exit parallel
how does primary focal point work for a minus lens
in order to have light rays exciting a minus lens (which adds divergence) parallel it is necessary to have the light converging as it enters the lens
the first focal point is an imaginary point where those converging rays would meet if they had not been intercepted by the lens,

the distance between the focal point and the lens is the focal length
what is the focal length of a -3.25 lens
U + D=V
U + -3.25 =0
U= +3.25
F= 1/D
=1/3.25
= +0.308 m
What is the second focal length
this is the point where an image will be formed by a given lens when the object is at infinity U=0,
for a minus lens a real image will be formed.....
behind the lens at the focal point
for a minus lens a virtual will be formed....
in front of the lens
what is the second focal length of a +1.25
U + D=V
0+1.25 =V
V= 1.25
F= 1/D
=1/1.25
= + .8m
what is the nodal point
defined as the axial point at which object rays and image subtend at identical angles (undeviated)
optical center
what are the three magnification formulas to remember
M=I/O I-image size, O-Object size
m=v/u v- distance from lens to image, u-distance from object to lens
m=U/V U- vergences of light, in diopters, entering lens V- vergences of light in diotpers exiting lens
anything over and under 1 in m= U/V means what?
anything over 1 will be perceived larger, where anything under 1 will be perceived smaller
