Now, for Diverging lenses……
For a Diverging Lens:
Ray #1: Parallel to the axis on the left
Refracts as if it came from F on the left
Ray #2: Heads toward F on the right
Refracts parallel to the axis on the right
Ray #3: Through the center of the lens undeflected

1. A magnifying glass is a converging lens held less than its
focal length from an object being examined. How far
should a magnifying glass whose focal length is 15 cm be
held from an object to produce an erect image three times
larger?.
Answer: do = 10 cm
Test : Answer the problem and show solution ( 20
points)
1. A 35 mm camera has a telephoto lens whose focal length
is 150 mm. What range of adjustment should the lens
have to bring to a sharp focus objects as close as 1.5 m
from a camera.
Answer: di = 167 mm

LENSES AND VISION
Nearsightedness (or myopia) is another
mismatch condition in which a person is able to focus on
nearby objects, but not faraway objects. In the case of
axial myopia, nearsightedness is caused by the lens
being too far from the retina. It is also possible to have
refractive myopia, in which the lens–cornea system is
too powerful for the normal length of the eye. The far
point of the nearsighted eye is not at infinity and may be
less than a meter.
A myopic person can see near objects clearly but
