Image Formation for a Convex Lens
How does a convex lens form an image? How do you measure the focal length of a lens? Light travels in straight lines unless an optical device—such as a mirror or lens—diverts its path. A convex lens is used in cameras and refracting telescopes to redirect light rays in order to focus light and form an image.
The 2 files with “2023” appended at the end of the name are for use with the Basic Optics components (OS-8456, OS-8470, and OS-8460). The 2 files without “2023” are for use with the EP3 equipment set.
