Explain about lenses

answered-by-expert Expert Answer
Lens are made from spherical transparent material as shown . Hence they are called spherical lenses.
Phenomenon of refraction of light is exploited to use the spherical lenses as light converging or
light diverging device depends on the type of lens.
 
we know that when light ray incident on a face of prism and making angle of incidence < 90° ,
it is getting refracted and light ray bend towards base of prism .
 
we know that when light ray incident on a face of glass slab ,
only lateral displacement takes place and emergent ray is parallel to incident ray .
This lateral displacement is prportional to thickness of glass slab.
 
As shown in figure,  a converging lens or convex lens is made up of two prisms at top and bottom
and in between a parallel slab. Hence light rays are getting converged as shown in figure for
converging or convex lens.
 
As shown in figure,  a diverging lens or concave lens is made up of two inverted prisms at top
and bottom and in between a parallel slab. Hence light rays are getting diverged as shown in figure
for diverging or concave lens.

 35. A student focuses the image of a candle flame, placed at about 2 m from a convex lens of focal length 10 cm, on a screen. After that he moves gradually the flame towards the lens and each time focuses its image on the screen. (A) In which direction does he move the lens to focus the flame on the screen? (B) What happens to the size of the image of the flame formed on the screen? (C) What difference is seen in the intensity (brightness) of the image of the flame on the screen? (D) What is seen on the screen when the flame is very close (at about 5 cm) to the lens?
