Awareness Video Presentation: Lens Equation/ Formula and Magnification.(www.sciencetuts.com)
This video show the lens equation and sign conventions for lens.

Activity Conduct an overview lecture on lens equation.

The following derivation shows the lens equation using the results from ray diagram.
From the first and third rays, similar triangles are seen in the diagram.

Figure 20. Similar Triangles are Formed using the (a) first ray (P – F ray) and (b )third ray (Vray).
From the height of the object, h and the height of the image, h’ shown in
Figure 20 (a), you can arrive at the first equation,

Equation 1 Similarly, as shown in Figure 20(b), the second equation can be derived
As

Equation 2 Combining Equations 1 and 2, you will get Equation 3

Rearranging Equation 3, you will arrive at

; ; and finally, Lens Equation

Analysis 1. How is the lens equation being stated?

2. What is the use or purpose of lens equation?
2. What are the different sign conventions for lenses?
Abstraction The Lens equation is used to determine the exact location and size of the image formed in lenses.

Lens Equation
The Sign Conventions for Lenses
• f is + if the lens is a double convex lens (converging lens)
• f is - if the lens is a double concave lens (diverging lens)
• q is + if the image is a real image and located behind the lens
• q is - if the image is a virtual image and located on the object’s
 side of the lens
• h’ is + if the image is an upright image (and therefore, also
virtual)
• h’ is - if the image an inverted image (and therefore, also real)
Application Try to solve the problem applying the lens equation.
 Determine the image distance and image height for a 8.00-cm tall object
placed 46.5 cm from a convex lens having a focal length of 16.0 cm.
Assessment Direction: Answer the following questions correctly.
1. What is the meaning of a positive focal length? A negative focal length?
2. When can an image formed is real? Virtual?
B. Solve the given problem accurately. Show complete solution.
A 3.10-cm diameter coin is placed a distance of 25.0 cm from a concave
lens that has a focal length of -11.0 cm. Determine the image distance and
the diameter of the image.
Assignment Study for a summative test.
