22.7 The Thin-Lens Equation
Optics Demonstrations-Two Lenses with
two Real Images
|
Explanation:
The video shows a system of two convergent lenses. An object is placed outside
the focal point of the first lens. As can be seen, a real inverted image
is formed between the two lenses and outside the focal length of the second
lens. The obtained image becomes the object of the second lens. Since
it is outside the focal length of the lens, the final image is real and
upright. The object used in this simulation is the letter T. The lens is
represented by a blue circle with dots placed on either side to designate
the focal point. The moving gray square simulates a viewing screen. The
analysis of this set-up is similar that used in example 22.7. |
