(a) Draw a ray diagram for the following situation involving a converging lens. The ray-tracing needs to have three principal rays. Also, draw the image on the ray diagram where the three principal rays converge.

(b) Use the ruler to measures the object distances, image distances, and focal lengths of the ray diagram. then, verify that your measurement is correct with the thin lens equation.

  1. Draw the three "special rays" from the tip of the arrow. Use a straightedge.
    1. A ray parallel to the axis (Ray 1) refracts through the far focal point.
    2. A ray that enters the lens along a line through the near focal point (Ray 2) emerges parallel to the axis.
    3. A ray through the center of the lens (Ray 3) does not bend.
  2. Extend the rays until they converge. This is the image point. Draw the rest of the image in the image plane. If the base of the object is on the axis, then the base of the image will also be on the axis.
  3.  

For a biconvex thin lens, choose a radius of curvature somewhere between 10 and 100 centimeters (and different than you did for a converging mirror), then choose three different object distances (at least one inside the focal length, one between the focal length and the center of curvature, and one beyond the center of curvature), and for each locate the image using the thin lens equation and determine the image magnification. Also, draw a nice, neat ray diagram that matches the equations, and labels all the relevant points and distances. Finally, for each, describe the image characteristics as either real or virtual, upright or inverted, and either larger or smaller.
