This module has functions which calculate focal length of lens, distance of
image from the lens and distance of object from the lens.
The above is calculated using the lens formula.
In optics, the relationship between the distance of the image (v),
the distance of the object (u), and
the focal length (f) of the lens is given by the formula known as the Lens formula.
The Lens formula is applicable for convex as well as concave lenses. The formula
is given as follows:
-------------------
| 1/f = 1/v + 1/u |
-------------------
Where
f = focal length of the lens in meters.
v = distance of the image from the lens in meters.
u = distance of the object from the lens in meters.
To make our calculations easy few assumptions are made while deriving the formula
which are important to keep in mind before solving this equation.
The assumptions are as follows:
1. The object O is a point object lying somewhere on the principle axis.
2. The lens is thin.
3. The aperture of the lens taken must be small.
4. The angles of incidence and angle of refraction should be small.
Sign convention is a set of rules to set signs for image distance, object distance,
focal length, etc
for mathematical analysis of image formation. According to it:
1. Object is always placed to the left of lens.
2. All distances are measured from the optical centre of the mirror.
3. Distances measured in the direction of the incident ray are positive and
the distances measured in the direction opposite
to that of the incident rays are negative.
4. Distances measured along y-axis above the principal axis are positive and
that measured along y-axis below the principal
axis are negative.
Note: Sign convention can be reversed and will still give the correct results.
