Thin Converging Lenses: Ray Diagrams
Students will draw ray diagrams to locate images formed by thin converging lenses.
Key Questions
- Construct accurate ray diagrams to determine the characteristics of images formed by converging lenses.
- Analyze how the position of an object affects the nature of the image formed by a converging lens.
- Predict the image location and size for an object placed at various distances from a converging lens.
