Thin lens equation relates object distance, image distance, and focal length. It's fundamental to cameras, microscopes, telescopes, and corrective lenses.

Công thức

The calculator applies 1/f = 1/s_o + 1/s_i
f
1/s_o + 1/s_i — 1/s_o + 1/s_i

Hướng dẫn từng bước

  1. 1Enter any two of: object distance (s_o), image distance (s_i), or focal length (f)
  2. 2The calculator applies 1/f = 1/s_o + 1/s_i
  3. 3Results show lens behavior and image characteristics

Ví dụ có lời giải

đầu vào
s_o = 30 cm, f = 10 cm
Kết quả
s_i = 15 cm, magnification = 0.5×
Real inverted image

Lỗi thường gặp cần tránh

  • Confusing sign conventions for distances and focal lengths
  • Using lens equations without considering real vs. virtual images

Câu hỏi thường gặp

When do you get virtual images?

Virtual images form when the object is closer than the focal point (s_o < f); the image appears upright and magnified.

What's the difference between converging and diverging lenses?

Converging (convex) lenses have positive focal length and form real images; diverging (concave) lenses have negative focal length and only form virtual images.
