What is ocular refraction?
refraction is when light bends example; cameras, eyeglasses, telescopes, and through water
Altering the shape of the lens to enable light to focus on the retina is called?
This process that produces a focused image on the retina through the bending of light rays is called refraction. To bring near and far objects into focus, it is necessary for the eye lens to make an adjustment through this process as light rays enter the retina.
When convexity of the lens is increased and light refraction does what?
The light refraction is decreased.
By what process does a lens focus light?
Refraction phenomenon
What is bending of light rays by the cornea lens and fluids of the eye is?
Refraction.
How does light go through a lens?
Light goes in the lens, refraction occurs, and the light exits the lens.
A converging lens changes the direction of light through the process of?
A converging lens changes the direction of light through the process of refraction. A lens is a device that uses refraction to bend light to form an image.
What happens to light when it strikes a lens?
light bends when it hits the lens....this is called refraction
Why is it possible to simplify the number of actual refractions in a lens down to one refraction at a central line through the optical centre?
There are a few reasons why it is possible to simplify the number of actual refractions in a lens down to one refraction at a central line through the optical centre. One reason is that when light passes through a lens, the lens refracts the light in such a way that the light is brought to a focus. The amount of refraction that occurs depends on the curvature of the lens and the index of refraction of the lens material. However, no matter how curved the lens is, the amount of refraction is always the same at the optical centre of the lens. This is because the optical centre is the point on the lens where the light rays passing through the lens are parallel to the principal axis of the lens. Another reason why it is possible to simplify the number of actual refractions in a lens down to one refraction at a central line through the optical centre is that when a lens is rotated about its optical axis, the image formed by the lens does not rotate. This is because the optical centre of a lens is invariant with respect to rotation. This means that it is not necessary to take into account the actual refractions that occur at different points on the lens when calculating the image formation by the lens.
When light passes through a lens what do you call the result?
Refraction
Which phenomenon of light accounts for the formation of images by a lens?
refraction
What term best describes how light interacts with a lens?
refraction
