Welcome to the demo - Exploring Convex Lenses in Optics.
Welcome to the demo - Exploring Convex Lenses in Optics.
This activity in the app features a double convex lens with center X...
...and a candle as the object “O” that can be moved along the principal axis.
The principal axis is the imaginary line passing through X, F and F’
The principal axis is the imaginary line passing through X, F and F’
The principal axis is the imaginary line passing through X, F and F’
The image labelled “I” is formed on the other side of the lens.
The app allows you to move the Object along the principal axis to study the image.
The app allows you to move the Object along the principal axis to study the image.
The app allows you to move the Object along the principal axis to study the image.
Optical characteristics can be studied in sections along the principal axis.
First study the image formed if the object is between infinity and 2F’.
You first study the image formed if the object is between infinity and 2F’.
Then, study the image formed when the object is between 2F’ and the focal point F.
Then, study the image formed when the object is between 2F’ and the focal point F.
Then, study the image formed when the object is between 2F’ and the focal point F.
Use the app to study the image formed when the object is at F.
Use the app to study the image formed when the object is at F.
Finally, study the image with the object between F and X.
Finally, study the image with the object between F and X.
Finally, study the image with the object between F and X.
You will learn about image properties such as - real, virtual, inverted, and diminished.
