It's all about getting things closer to your eye while still keeping focused. In fact, if the image of the lens is at infinity, you won't even have eye strain if you look at it for a long time! Philatelists - celebrate!

I believe so, but this program is not used in the USA, so I'm not certain. I follow an AP Physics curriculum, which seems very similar from my research. Feel free to watch what helps you and supplement with A-Level specific lectures when needed. I also want students to work many problems to develop intuition and skills. Just watching videos will not get you a physics education, but it might get you thinking.

I did not like this treatment at first, but after watching other videos, and thinking about it myself, I came back for a second look, and I like it better! I think you can use the small-angle formula without going into the expansion of the sine and cosine. Most people won’t understand Taylor expansions, so they don’t help here :) that bit distracts from the message!

Depending on where your eye is, it's not always the maximum maginification when you place the object at focal distance, and the magnification is not always N/f. When you place your eye right next to the lens, the maximum magnification is actually N/f + 1

does the thinner lens have a bigger focal length? Radius of curvature would be farther away from the lens surface. The surface seems flatter for the thinner lens with a greater focal length. The thicker lens will magnify the object more. The focal length (radius of curvature will be shorter) making the Magnification larger. ~ since The Focal length is in the denominator

I am having some difficulty with a project that requires viewing a cell phone and characters from an approx. distance of 4" from the eye. I can easily place a lens with a diopter of 6 directly in front of the eye and read the characters but the project requires the lens/ lenses to be placed close to the face of the cell phone. Would you recommend a combination using converging and diverging lenses or would it be best to go with a single large magnifier?

I'm no expert on optics, but I'd try a combination if I had to say something.

@panazilian10 жыл бұрын
the thicker lense should give you a better magnification right? Since the thinner lens has a greater radius of curvature it will also have a focus that is greater than the focus of the thick lens. Greater focal point yields smaller magnification. am i correct??

How does the eye REALLY works? Some books bring images that shows exactly the same thing you drew. But others show that te lens of the eye focus the light into a single point in retina, without 2 oposite angles. I have no idea of which is the correct answer.
@EpicEditsBySaz11 жыл бұрын
Oh hey, well I'm 16 and in uk you learn this at ages 15 to 16 for GCSE. But it's less detailed and simpler, I think when we go college and if we choose physics for A-levels (I don't know the equivellence qualification to America sorry) is when we'd learn it more in depth. This is basically all we learn about these graphs - /watch?feature=player_embedded&v=gr55WiBp1qg

damn I'm just trying to design a magnifying glass lens using borosilicate class and making it by hand I think I have an idea when I tried to make two lenses connected to a long shaft of glass and I would look through it kind of like a unified telescope there was so much glass between the two lens objects that I would get all the stress marks in the glass magnified drastically and it would blow the capability of the lenses to coordinate and form an image through them.
@pauldirac53768 жыл бұрын
Your explanation of how the magnifying lens works is clear, but at the beginning you seem to have neglected explaining the role of the lens in the eye. You just show one ray coming from the tip of the object and going through the eye lens, without showing the role of the eye lens in focusing rays coming off from the tip at all different angles, ending up hitting the same point on the retina. It seems to me that you need to explain how the eye lens works to understand this phenomenon, just as much as explaining the external magnifying glass. Your early picture shows nothing about the eye lens refracting the light. After seeing how the magnifying lens, one can go back and fill in the gaps about the limitations of the eye lens causing the necessity for having an external magnifying lens, but that requires a big leap by the student.
@DocSchuster8 жыл бұрын
+Paul Dirac That is a lovely point, and certainly an oversight that I didn't draw any refraction at the eye lens. There's always a decision to be made in terms of how much detail to show. For me, since I have a playlist that develops optics a bit before this video (including the wonderful lots of paths to the same spot explanation your mention!), I am comfortable not mentioning everything here. But I do agree that showing refraction at the eye lens is a great idea. Thanks for your thoughts. Are you actually named Paul Dirac?
@nestorenriquez32845 жыл бұрын
Sorry, but when you move the object near your eye the image forms behind the retina (if the person is an emmetrope). Now, in order for the image to form exactly at the retina, the eye accommodates. This is when the ciliary muscle contracts so that the lens becomes more biconvex.

Doc Schuster Try 6:27 Don't be disingenuous. You said nothing about why the direction of light is changed by glass or why focus is important for the eye (things people are wondering, when they ask how a magnifying glass works). Also, I wouldn't go calling out other explanations for being cute, before I washed the smiley face off my hand. Some people might call that hypocritical, but it is completely natural. Sort of like having all the meaning, but not the answer.

This is one of the final videos on optics that I made. I suppose it would help to have an index so the casual viewer can see the logical progression of instruction.
