HOW TO DRAW THE


RAY DIAGRAM?
Ray Diagram A diagram that traces the path
that light takes in order for a person to view a
point on the image of an object.

PLANE MIRROR
Characteristics of image
formed:
virtual
laterally inverted
same size as object
upright
image distance , v =

CONVEX LENS
u > 2f

Image on the
side opposite
to the object
is REAL
image.

The
characteristic

image is
depend on
the position
of the object.

CONVEX LENS
u = 2f

CONVEX LENS
2f > u > f

CONVEX LENS
u=f

CONVEX LENS
u<f

Image on the
same to the
object is
VIRTUAL
image.

CONCAVE LENS

Table 11 shows the specifications of four simple
astronomical telescopes, J, K, L and M. You are
required to determine the most suitable telescope to
see clearer distant object.
Study the specifications of all the four telescopes in
Table 11 below:

Explain the suitability of each characteristic and


then determine the most suitable telescope used to
see distant object clearly.
