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?
Evolution of Our Understanding of Light

Geometrical and Physical Optics
Light as Waves and Rays
Reflection
Refraction
Index of Refraction
Relative Index of Refraction
Refraction – Air to Other Materials
Refraction – Other Material to Air
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
Converging and Diverging Lenses
Converging and Diverging Lenses
Types of Lenses According to
Curvature of the Two Optical Surfaces
Converging Lens
Diverging Lens
Lensmaker’s Equation

Converging Lens
Thin Lens Equation
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
