Focusing light

Task A: Focusing light to form an image

An example view from a The image formed by a convex lens:


window:

Example answers.
Prediction:
With half the lens covered, the whole image will still be visible. It will still be inverted and the size
won’t change either. However, the image will be dimmer.

Explanation:
Some light from every point on the object hits every part of the lens. All the rays that pass
through the lens from a single point on the object are focused to a single point on the screen,
forming the corresponding part of the image.
With half of the lens covered, only half of the rays from before can now get through the lens. So
each part of the image still forms, in exactly the same way as before, except from less light.

Task B: Refraction of light by a convex lens


Complete the rays of light through each of these lenses to show how they each focus light.
Most of the rays should be refracted twice.
