    the plastic lens was introduced in 1952. Convex and concave lenses are known as spherical lenses. Convex lenses were the first lenses used to correct vision problems. They are used to correct hyperopia (farsighted vision). These lenses are thicker in the middle than at the edges. Concave lenses are used to correct nearsightedness. This is a condition that makes people see things that are close to them but struggle to see things far away. Concave lenses are curved inward like the inside of

    rectangle. The laser also reflected differently depending on whether it was being shined through the curved or flat edges. The differences between the convex and the concave were also interesting to see. In the convex (or positive) simulation, we noticed the light converge or be more focused therefore making it more likely to create and image. In the concave (or negative) simulation, we noticed that the light rays were more spread out which explains why the laser beamed almost seemed thicker in that instance

    doctor or Optometrists on a yearly basis to determine if new lenses are required. In order to create new lenses a doctor must have an optical instrument or Surface Machine to produce high-precision measurements and he must use a high quality glass. The convex lens is used to correct hyperopia or farsighted vision. It is a lens that is thicker in the middle than at the edges. In or...

  • Thin Lenses Experiment Essay

    Theory: The purpose of this experiment was to demonstrate and better understand thin lenses. The two types of thin lenses are concave where the lens curves in and convex when the lens curves out. There are three characteristics of thin lenses, which include; a chef ray, which goes through the center of the lens and does not deviate, the parallel ray that shines parallel to the lens and is refracted through the focal point on the opposite side, lastly there is the focal ray, which shines through

Other words that can be identified as tier level words are plane figure, segments, vertices, consecutive, interior, nonconvex, intersect, properties

  • Analysis Of Refractor Telescope

    objects are located behind the retina. The retinal surface where the light detecting cells are, detect that the close up objects are blurry. To help people with hyperopia a concave mirror is used to refract the light, scene as the lens within the eye cannot assume the high curved shape that is needed to see close up objects. The concave lens will refract the light rays before it enters the eye, therefore decreasing the images distance. Because the process where refraction of light occurs before the light

    The effect of these refractions is that the image is magnified and if the second eyepiece is convex is inverted. The equation used to calculate lenses (descartes formula) can be also used to calculate the refractor telescope. The equation is: 1f=1d0+1di This is equation can be applied to the refractor telescope to find the nature of the image

    crystal display, permits the user to view settings such as film speed, exposure, and shutter speed. HOW DO WE GET THE IMAGE IN A CAMERA? The above diagram shows the functional ray diagram of a camera. The light enters the camera passing two convex or converging lenses. The lenses of the camera is adjusted in a way that the light from the object passes through the pole of the first lens. And the pole of the first lens is the centre of curvature of the second lens. There the light travels in

Flint (has a high content of lead oxide) Chemicals are combined to produce new glass types. These new glass types are used to benefit other different types of cameras (such as high-speed minature cameras, black/white cameras, etc).

    There is a beckoning about space—an indefinable pull towards its airless environment. While I share a childlike excitement of zero gravity far off planets, I don’t lose myself in heavenly dreaming. Infact, what is more my fascination, is the technology that allows children to have their dreams, that allow them to grow up and actually touch the stars! And thus, I put forward for your enjoyment and enlightenment, a detail and profile of the most landmark instrument ever created for observation of the

  • Electromagnetic Radiation Essay

    Introduction: Key Concepts: Light as a form of electromagnetic radiation: Light can be classified as a form of electromagnetic radiation, which includes visible light. The ‘light’ commonly referred to in everyday life belongs in this category. The electromagnetic spectrum includes other types of radiation such as gamma rays, radio waves and cosmic rays, all of which possess distinct wavelengths, frequencies and energy levels. These forms of electromagnetic radiation are not visible to the human eye

    cast in obscure language and were accompanied by fantastic claims. The telescope, when it came, was a very humble and simple device. It is possible that in the 1570’s Leonard and Tomas Digges in England actually made an instrument consisting of a convex lens and a mirror, but if this proves to be the case, it was an experimental setup that was never translated into a mass product

    research suggests rock crystals were used to observe the reflection and refraction of light. These early techniques made it possible for Lippershey and later Galileo to invent and improve the telescope lenses. In 1490CE Leonardo Davinci used a concave mirror, which was a primitive reflecting telescope, used for astronomy purposes. From 1520-1559CE Leonard Digges invented perspective glass that was used to view small objects from far away. In 1538CE Professor Fracastoro suggested putting together

    object/Focal length of eyepiece). The image is shown on the focal point of the objective (first) lense, where the rays all meet. When light goes into a converging lense, it refracts towards the focal point of the lense. By drawing a line around a convex or concave lense/mirror and continue going at the same curve, there would be a circle. The focal point of the lense is halfway between the center of the circle the lense creates, and the edge. To work out the focal point half the radius of the circle the

    The optical direction is the point on the normal where the incident direction of a ray is parallel to the emergent direction. Figure 13: converging lens In a convex lens, the rays are parallel to the axis (normal) and cross each other at a single point on the focal point. This is called converging lens. Figure 14: diverging lens In a concave lens, the light rays bend away from the normal. This is known as diverging lens.

    Paley’s argument discussed that an object so intricate and complex as a watch it must have a designer. The complex watch has so many functions and fragments inside of it such as the coils and the second and minute hands that move around the clock that make it so intricate. The watch has been really thought out. Inside the watch the middle and second hand move in equal and constant measured motion. The complexity of the watch shows that it has to be a product of a being that is very intelligent.

    As an analyst, accurate measurements are done with the help of volumetric glassware’s, like buret and pipet. Volumetric glassware are containers that have been calibrated at specific temperature to deliver or contain very precise amount of liquid. In order to ensure the accuracy and precision of the glassware’s then a calibration must be done. The assumption of volume for volumetric glassware is dependent on the cleanliness of the surface. Although accuracy is more important in TD (to deliver) glassware

    Introduction to light: Electromagnetic radiation is a form of light energy. Electromagnetic is made up of visible light, invisible light (ultraviolet, infrared, X-rays, radio waves and microwaves). In vacuum lights maximum velocity is 3.0x10^8 m/s. Reflection: If an object does not radiate its own light, it must reflect light to be visible. Reflection includes two beams - an approaching or incident beam and an active or reflected beam. The imaginary line that is perpendicular to the principal axis

    below to be properly understood1. A crease, otherwise known as a fold can be convex or concave, referred to as a mountain fold, or a valley fold respectively. All the creases used form a crease pattern. If two or more creases intersect a vertex is created. If there is a series of successive creases relatively close to each other the resulting form is called a pleat. A crimp involves a reverse fold of convex and concave folds. Crimps and pleats form accordion and corrugated patterns, which are then
