Lecture on Optics
Dr. Alberto V. Amorsolo, Jr.
Professor, UP DMMME
September 1, 2014
At the end of the lecture the student is
expected to:
1. Describe the fundamental laws of classical
geometrical optics
2. Differentiate converging from diverging
lenses
3. Construct ray diagrams and determine the
magnification of the image
Introduction
Optics – study of light and it propagation
through matter

Nature of Light
• Is it a wave?
• Is it a stream of particles?

Total Internal Reflection
Lens
• A device that causes light to either converge
and concentrate or to diverge
• Usually formed from a piece of shaped glass
or plastic

Magnification
• The formula for magnification may also be
used for diverging lenses but the focal length
in this case is considered to be negative
• Only virtual images can be formed by
diverging lenses

Converging Lens
Image Formation in a Diverging Lens
Summary of Imaging in a Converging Lens

• If the object is more than twice the focal length


from the lens, then the image formed is real,
inverted, and smaller in size than the object
(M<1)
• When the object is at a distance = 2f, the image
and object are the same size (M=1)
• When the object is between f and 2f, the image is
larger than the object (M>1), and when it is < f,
the image is virtual, erect and larger than the
object (M>1)
