1 .3 Lenses Here is a summary o what you will learn in this section: Lenses reract light in useul ways to orm s. Concave lenses, which cause light to diverge, are usen multi-lens systems to help produce s. Convex lenses cause light to converge and can be usen magniying glasses or to project s on a screen. When the object is arther away rom a convex lens than the ocal point, the is real annverted. When the object is closer to the lens than the ocal point, the is virtual and upright. igure.45 Police oicers using night vision goggles while patrolling along the St. Lawrence River Seeing in the Dark Imagine taking to the skies in a helicopter over the orests o northern Ontario. It is the middle o the night, and all you see out the window is total blackness. Your task is to ly to a remote orest location and rescue a team o ireighters needing emergency evacuation. Or picture yoursel on night patrol watching along the shores o the St. Lawrence River (igure.45). Would you be ready or such a mission? In addition to excellent training, it helps to have good equipment, including radar, radio, lights, and night vision goggles (igure.46). Modern night vision goggles are so sensitive that the tiny amounts o starlight relecting o orests can be ampliied to levels visible to pilots and rescue sta to give a clear view o the countryside. With these ultra-sensitive devices, you can literally ly and search by starlight. igure.46 Night vision goggles 448 UNIT D Light and Geometric Optics

2 Night vision goggles use lenses to ocus light onto a device called an intensiier. Inside the intensiier, the light energy releases a stream o particles. These particles then hit a phosphor-coated screen. The phosphors glow when the particles strike them. The person wearing the goggles sees a glowing green (igure.47). igure.47 The intensiier o night goggles ampliies the particles beore they hit the screen. The appears as shades o green.

3 WORDS MATTER The word lens is derived rom the Latin word lenticula, which means lentil. A lens is in the shape o a lentil like those shown here. Types o Lenses I you have ever used a microscope, telescope, binoculars, or a camera, you have worked with one or more lenses (igure.48). A lens is a curved transparent material that is smooth and regularly shaped so that when light strikes it, the light reracts in a predictable and useul way. Most lenses are made o transparent glass or very hard plastic. These materials have several useul properties. or example, they are strong and hard. They can also be shaped and polished. By shaping both sides o the lens, it is possible to make light rays diverge or converge as they pass through the lens. The most important aspect o lenses is that the light rays that reract through them can be used to magniy s or to project s onto a screen. Relative to the object, the produced by a thin lens can be real or virtual, inverted or upright, larger or smaller. converging lenses (thickest in the middle) diverging lenses (thinnest in the middle) igure.49 Lenses can be groupento two types, converging and diverging, depending on how they reract the light that enters them. (a) (b) axis o symmetry axis o symmetry igure.50 (a) Converging lens and (b) diverging lens Lens Terminology igure.50 illustrates some o the terms associated with both converging and diverging lenses: principal axis principal axis The principal axis is an imaginary line drawn through the optical centre perpendicular to both suraces. The axis o symmetry is an imaginary vertical line drawn through the optical centre o a lens. Both kinds o lenses have two principal ocuses. The ocal point where the light either comes to a ocus or appears to diverge rom a ocus is given the symbol, while that on the opposite side o the lens is represented by. The ocal length,, is the distance rom the axis o symmetry to the principal ocus measured along the principal axis. Since light behaves the same way travelling in either direction through a lens, both types o thin lenses have two equal ocal lengths. 450 UNIT D Light and Geometric Optics

4 Concave Lenses A diverging lens is sometimes called a concave lens because it is thinner in the centre than at the edges. As parallel light rays pass through a concave lens, they are reracted away rom the principal axis. This means the light rays diverge and they will never meet on the other side o the lens (igure.5). The ormes always upright and smaller than the object (igure.52 and Table.6). igure.5 A concave lens causes light rays to diverge. igure.52 A diverging lens orms an upright, smaller. Table.6 Images ormed by Concave Lenses Distance o Object rom Lens Type o Image ormed How the Image Is Used Ray Diagram All distances Smaller, upright Some types o eyeglasses and telescopes make use o the diverging properties o concave lenses. These lenses are oten usen combination with converging lenses. object ray ray 2 Drawing a Ray Diagram or a Lens A ray diagram is a useul tool or predicting and understanding how s orm as a result o light rays emerging rom a lens. The index o reraction o a lens is greater than the index o reraction o air. This means that when a light ray passes rom air into the lens, the light ray bends, or reracts, away rom the lens surace and toward the normal. When the light passes out o the lens at an angle, the light rays reract again, this time bending away rom the normal. In other words, light rays undergo two reractions, the irst on entering the lens and the second on leaving the lens (igure.53). (a) (b) igure.53 (a) Concave lens (b) and convex lens Ray diagrams model the behaviour o light in mirrors and lenses. 45

5 In your ray diagrams in this unit, assume you are working with a thin lens. A thin lens is a lens that has a thickness that is slight compared to its ocal length. An example o a thin lens is an eyeglass lens. You can simpliy drawing a ray diagram o a thin lens without aecting its accuracy by assuming that all the reraction takes place at the axis o symmetry. object ray ray 2 igure.54 Concave lens ray diagram Drawing a Concave Lens Ray Diagram Ray diagrams or lenses are similar to ray diagrams or curved mirrors. You need to use two rays to predict location. You can ollow the steps in igure.54 to draw a ray diagram o a concave lens.. The irst ray o a concave lens ray diagram travels rom the tip o the object parallel to the principal axis (ray ). When it emerges rom the lens, it appears to come rom the principal ocus. 2. The second ray travels rom the tip o the object through the optical centre o the lens ans not reracted (ray 2). 3. Draw the virtual where the rays appear to intersect. Convex Lenses A converging lens is also called a convex lens because it is thicker at the centre than at the edges. As parallel light rays travel through a convex lens, they are reracted toward the principal axis. This causes the rays to move toward each other. The light rays cross at the ocal point o the lens. Converging lenses are oten used as magniying glasses (igure.56). igure.55 A convex lens causes light rays to converge. igure.56 A converging lens can be used as a magniying glass. 452 UNIT D Light and Geometric Optics

6 orming a Real Image Convex lenses are useul because they can orm a real on a screen. or example, the light rays coming rom one point on the lame in igure.57 diverge and strike the lens at dierent places. However, the lens redirects all those rays so that they converge at a single point. The screen must be placed so that the light rays strike it exactly as they converge. This way, when the light rays relect o the screen, they are coming rom a single point, just like when they originally let a single point on the candle. At the same time, the lens must also redirect all light rays that come rom a point at the base o the candle and send them to a single point on the screen. The rays then relect o the screen in all directions, just like when the light rays rom the base o the candle let the candle. When the rays rom every point on the candle are sent to the screen, a complete is ormed. You can compare the type o ormed at dierent distances as well as some o the uses o convex lenses in Table.7. During Reading Comparing Graphics and Text Read the paragraph on orming a real, and then look at the graphics beneath the explanation. Which was easier to understand the word text or the graphics? Would you be able to understand one eature without the support o the other, i.e., words without graphics or graphics without words? How did each graphic help you to understand the idea more ully? screen candle (upside down) Suggested Activity D24 Quick Lab on page 459 igure.57 As you can see in this illustration, there is one drawback to convex lenses.

7 Drawing a Convex Lens Ray Diagram You can ollow the steps in igure.58 to draw a ray diagram o a convex lens.. The irst ray o a convex lens ray diagram travels rom the tip o the object parallel to the principal axis (ray ). When it emerges rom the lens, it passes through the principal ocus. 2. The second ray travels rom the tip o the object through the optical centre o the lens ans not reracted (ray 2). 3. Draw the real where the rays appear to intersect. Suggested Activity D25 Inquiry Activity on page 460 object ray ray 2 igure.58 Convex lens ray diagram Learning Checkpoint. Describe the dierence in shape between a convex lens and a concave lens. 2. Which lens, convex or concave, can also be called a diverging lens? 3. Why do light rays bend twice when lenses are used? 4. Draw a ray diagram or a convex lens when the object is situated: (a) more than two ocal lengths away rom the lens (b) exactly two ocal lengths rom the lens Thin Lens Equation The distance o the object rom the lens, d o, the distance o the rom the lens,, and the ocal length o a lens,, can all be related using the thin lens equation. Given any two o these quantities, you can use the thin lens equation to solve or the third: = + d o 454 UNIT D Light and Geometric Optics

8 Keep in mind the ollowing points when working with the thin lens equation (see also Table.8). A concave lens has a negative ocal length and a negative distance to the. A convex lens has a positive ocal length and either a positive or negative distance to the, depending where the object is placed. The distance is positive i the is real and negative i the is virtual. Table.8 Images ormed by Convex Lenses Lens Type ocal Length Distance to Object Distance to Image Convex positive positive positive or negative depending on object location Take It urther Large glass lenses can be extremely heavy. However, because reraction only occurs at the surace o a lens, the middle material can be removed, as long as the lens surace remains correctly curved. These lenses are called resnel lenses, and they are usen lighthouses and overhead projectors. ind out more about how resnel lenses are constructed and used. Begin your research at ScienceSource.

D22 STSE Science, Technology, Society, and the Environment Two-Way Mirrors A two-way mirror is partly relective and partly transparent. The relective coating o a two-way mirror is not nearly as thick on a regular mirror so that some light gets relected and some passes through. or the mirror to work properly, there must be a signiicant dierence in the brightness o light on the two sides. The side where the observers are positioned must be dark so that no light goes through the mirror to the other room. The other side, where the person being observes located, must be bright so that enough o the light is relected and the person does not see through to the other side.. How might you be able to tell i you were looking at a two-way mirror, without looking at it rom the other side? 2. Two-way mirrors are sometimes usen training hospitals so interns can watch operations being perormed. Brainstorm other situations in which two-way mirrors would be useul. 3. What issues do you think arise rom the use o two-way mirrors? Ray diagrams model the behaviour o light in mirrors and lenses. 457

16 SCIENCE everywhere Sel-Adjusting Glasses The man in this photograph is wearing glasses that correct his blurry vision. The unusual thing is that he adjusted his own lenses without the help o an optometrist in determining his lens prescription. In act, over one billion people in the world do not have access to an optometrist. Low-cost glasses that can be adjusted by the wearer may be part o the solution or making good quality, low-cost vision correction a reality or the whole world. This pair o sel-adjusting glasses is constructed by sandwiching a luid-illed sac inside a lexible plastic lens. More luid means a thicker lens and a stronger correction in the glasses. To make an adjustment, the wearer uses a small syringe to add or remove the luid, and a small screw to lock the amount o luin the lens. One design hurdle is inding a way to produce the glasses in bulk cheaply. Another diiculty is the bulky rame that is currently needed. Dr. Silver and others are working to overcome these diiculties. The inventor o sel-adjusting glasses is Joshua Silver, a proessor at Oxord University in England. Dr. Silver wondered whether people could correct their own vision i they could manually adjust the ocussing power o the lenses. This would be just like anyone ocussing a camera or a pair o binoculars. By 2008, Dr. Silver had already seen pairs o his sel-adjusting glasses delivered to people in 5 developing countries. By 2020, he would like to see pairs distributed annually at a cost o less than $2 per wearer. Ray diagrams model the behaviour o light in mirrors and lenses. 463
