Multiple Two Lens System with Diverging and Converging Lens
TLDRThis educational video explores a two-lens optical system featuring a converging (convex) lens with a 3 cm focal length and a diverging (concave) lens with a 4 cm focal length. The script explains the thin lens equation and illustrates the process of determining image formation, orientation, and magnification for both lenses. It demonstrates that the convex lens produces a real, inverted image of the same size as the object, while the concave lens creates a virtual, upright, reduced image.

Q & A
What is the main topic of the video?
-The main topic of the video is a two-lens system involving a converging lens (convex lens) and a diverging lens (concave lens), and how to determine the properties of the images formed by these lenses.
What is the equation given in the video for lens systems?
-The equation given in the video is the thin lens equation: \( \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{D} + \frac{1}{Di} \), where \( f \) is the focal length, \( D \) is the distance between the object and the lens, and \( Di \) is the distance between the image and the lens.
What is the difference between a converging lens and a diverging lens?
-A converging lens, also known as a convex lens, is thicker at the center and converges light rays towards a focal point. A diverging lens, or concave lens, is thinner at the center and spreads out light rays as if they are emanating from a focal point.
What is the focal length chosen for the convex lens in the video?
-The focal length chosen for the convex lens in the video is 3 cm.
What is the magnification formula used in the video?
-The magnification formula used in the video is \( \text{Magnification} = \frac{Di}{D} \), which is also the ratio of the image height to the object height.
How does the video determine if an image is real or virtual?
-The video determines if an image is real or virtual based on the sign of \( Di \). If \( Di \) is positive, the image is real; if \( Di \) is negative, the image is virtual.
What does the video say about the orientation of the image formed by a convex lens?
-The video explains that if the magnification is negative, the image is inverted compared to the object. If the magnification is positive, the image is upright.
What is the relationship between the magnification and the size of the image?
-If the absolute value of the magnification is less than one, the image is reduced. If it is greater than one, the image is enlarged.
How does the video calculate the second image formed by the diverging lens?
-The video uses the thin lens equation for the diverging lens with a negative focal length and the distance from the first image to the second lens to calculate the second image's distance and properties.
What is the final image's orientation and size relative to the original object in the video?
-The final image, formed by the diverging lens, is upright and reduced in size relative to the original object. It is also virtual and on the same side as the diverging lens.
How does the video illustrate the behavior of light rays through the lenses?
-The video uses ray diagrams to illustrate how light rays behave when passing through the converging and diverging lenses, showing convergence to a point for a real image and apparent divergence from a point for a virtual image.
Outlines
🔍 Introduction to Two-Lens System
This paragraph introduces a two-lens optical system consisting of a converging (convex) lens and a diverging (concave) lens. The focal length, object distance, and image distance are explained using the thin lens equation. The script sets up an example with specific values for the focal lengths of the lenses (3 cm for the convex lens and 4 cm for the concave lens), the distance between the lenses (18 cm), and the object distance (6 cm). The goal is to determine the location and characteristics of the images formed by each lens, including whether they are real or virtual, upright or inverted, and their size relative to the object.
📐 Analysis of Converging Lens Behavior
The script delves into the behavior of the convex lens using the thin lens equation, where the focal length is positive. It calculates the image distance (di) for the convex lens when the object is placed at 6 cm, resulting in a real and inverted image located 6 cm from the lens on the right side. The magnification is determined to be 1, indicating the image is the same size as the object but inverted. The paragraph also explains the direction of the image formation based on the sign of di and the orientation of the image relative to the object.
🔬 Effect of Diverging Lens on the First Image
The script then discusses the effect of the concave lens on the image formed by the convex lens. It uses the thin lens equation with a negative focal length for the concave lens and calculates a new image distance (di) of -3 cm, indicating a virtual image on the left side of the lens. The magnification is found to be 1/4, suggesting the second image is reduced in size to a quarter of the original object's height. The image is upright relative to the first image, which is treated as the object for the concave lens.
📚 Conclusion on Image Formation and Ray Diagrams
The final paragraph wraps up the analysis by summarizing the characteristics of the images formed by both lenses. It emphasizes that a converging lens can produce a real image if the object is beyond the focal point, or a virtual, upright, and enlarged image if the object is between the focal point and the lens. The script also includes a brief on how to draw ray diagrams for both lenses to visualize the image formation process, ensuring the predicted locations and orientations of the images are correct.
