A. Relations between object lengths and image lengths

1 1 1 = +

Note: f = focal length (+) S = object distance S = image distance

B. Image magnification

= =

Note : M = magnification h = height object h = height image s = object distance s = image distance

e.g
A convex lens has 20 cm of focal length. With the object placed 10 cm in front of the lens. Determine the image position , the magnification, and the characteristics of the image of an object.

POWER OF LENS

Examples:
Q:

the focal length of a convex lens is 5 cm. What is the optical power of lens?

RECALLING
Q:

The focal length of a convex lens is 12 cm. An object is placed in front of the lens, Determine : a.) The image length b.) The magnification of the image c.) The power of lens d.) Ray diagram e.) The size of the image if the object size is 12 cm

An object with 5 cm in height is put in front of a converging lens. The image formed is located 12 cm behind the lens and it is 15 cm in height. Find the power of lens. And draw the diagram.
