CONVERGING LENSES SECONDARY 3 PHYSICS
Types of Lenses Convex Lens (converging) Concave Lens (diverging)
Converging Lenses Focal length Principal focus or Focal point Optical centre Focal plane Principal axis
Ray Diagrams F F
Images Formed by Lens  Magnifying glass upright, magnified, virtual u < f Spotlight upright, magnified, virtual u = f Projector Inverted, magnified, real f < u < 2f Photocopier Inverted, same size, real u = 2f Camera, eye Inverted, diminished, real u > 2f Telescope Inverted, diminished, real u =   Uses Type of image Object distance
