The object- and image-points of a particular lens are described as conjugate. The object point, or the point at which the image is taken from, and the image point, the image itself, are able to be flipped perfectly, as if the object is placed where the image was, an image will appear where the object was.

How many focal points does a lens have?

A lens has two focal points -- one on each side of the lens. These focal points are where parallel rays of light converge after passing through the lens.


How is object positioned with respect to convex lens?

An object positioned beyond the focal point of a convex lens will produce a real and inverted image between the focal point and the lens. An object positioned at the focal point will produce no image. An object positioned between the focal point and the lens will produce a virtual and upright image beyond the lens.


What is meant by diminished in a lens?

In the context of a lens, "diminished" refers to a reduction in the size or intensity of the projected image. This can occur due to factors such as lens aberrations, reduced light transmission, or optical imperfections, resulting in a less sharp or bright image compared to the original object.


What happens when rays of light incident on a lens and parallel to the principal axis of the lens converge?

-- The distance from the center of the lens to the plane in which the rays converge is the 'focal length' of the lens. -- If the rays emanated from one point on an object, then rays from all the other points on the object do the same thing, and a real image is formed.


Factors affecting for length of a convex lens by the lens displacement method using cojugate foci?

There are many factors that can affect the focal length of a convex lens. These include: - The thickness of the lens - The type of material that the lens is made ot of - The curviture of the lens - How big the distance between the lens and the image you are viewing is. This is obviously a major factor due to the fact the the focal length is where all the light becomes concentrated and the image becomes clear as pristine. I hope this has helped those seeking the answer to the question above. I know this information as I am doing a controlled assessment all about 'How Factors Affect The Focal Lenght/ Point Of A Convex Lens'. Thankyou for viewing. Samia :)

How does light travel through a carvex lens?

IF you meant a convex lens - light entering the lens is bent because it's passing from one medium to another - to converge at the focal point.


What is the ability of a lens system to distinguish two points?

The ability of a lens system to distinguish two points is referred to as its resolution. This is determined by factors such as the wavelength of light used and the numerical aperture of the lens. Higher resolution allows for clearer images with finer details, enabling the lens system to differentiate between closely spaced points. In optical systems, resolution is often quantified using the Rayleigh criterion, which defines the minimum distance at which two point sources can be resolved.


How is object positioned with respect to convex lens?

An object positioned beyond the focal point of a convex lens will produce a real and inverted image between the focal point and the lens. An object positioned at the focal point will produce no image. An object positioned between the focal point and the lens will produce a virtual and upright image beyond the lens.


If you have the same prescription in each eye can you wear the left eye lens in the right eye and vice versa?

No, you cannot simply switch the lenses between eyes, even if they have the same prescription. Each lens is uniquely designed to match the specific curvature of that eye, so they are not interchangeable. The left lens is meant for the left eye, and the right lens is meant for the right eye for optimal vision correction.


What is meant by the term 'lens flare'?

A lens flair occurs in photography when unwanted light shines into the camera and shows up in a picture. This occurs often when shooting pictures with the sun in the background.


What is the plural possessive form of the word lens?

Glasses are a plural form for glass (a drinking glass, or a lens). To indicate the plural of glasses (eyewear, a pair of eyeglasses), you would have to use the description "pairs of glasses."


Does camera lenses have long or short focal points?

The short focal length of a camera lens is so that the image the lens forms is small and can be focused on a piece of light-sensitive film.

What does mm mean for a digital camera?

MM refers to the focal length of the lens. In the old, old days of Paul Rudolph's original Tessar lens, "focal length" meant the distance between the middle of the lens and the "focal point" - the point at which all the rays of light coming out of the lens converge on one spot. That lens was first introduced in 1902, and since then we've learned that different focal lengths of lenses have different angles of view...so now, if a lens has an angle of view equal to that of a 50mm lens, we call the lens a "50mm" regardless of the actual length of the lens.
