In this lesson, we will learn how to define a convex lens, describe the paths of light rays refracted through these lenses, and explain how rays are focused by such lenses.
Q1:
Which of the objects shown in the diagram is a convex lens?
Q2:
Light rays diverging from a point are incident on a convex lens, as shown in the diagram. Which of the other diagrams, (A), (B), (C), and (D), most correctly shows the directions of the rays that exit the lens?
Q3:
Part of a convex lens is shown. No light rays pass through the lens, but several possible lines normal to the surface of the lens are shown.
Which line on the left-hand side of the lens is normal to the surface at the point that the line contacts the surface?
Which line on the right-hand side of the lens is normal to the surface at the point that the line contacts the surface?
