by admin on 2012/06/23

Physics: Introduction to geometric optics for lenses and mirrors. Concave, convex, converging, diverging; real, virtual; upright, inverted, magnified, shrunk. Sign conventions for focal length, image distance, object distance, magnification. The lens/mirror equation; the magnification equation. Introduction to ray tracing.

An easy way i came up? with to remember is

Diverging –

‘DIE’-verging = negative

so then converging must be positive.

Remind again? how that is funny..

How is are the rays converging in the lens example? Why are they? converging?
