OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS

(Image not included due to unsupported format)

Optical instruments are the devices which processes light wave to enhance

an image for more clear view. You use an optical instrument usually to

make things bigger and to see fine details of objects with the help of

something very simple like a magnifying glass or any complicated device

like microscope or telescope. To make things look bigger, you should

always use the converging lenses as diverging lenses always gets you

smaller images.

While using a converging lens, it's important to remember the rules of

thumb. And the first rules is, if any object is very far away, the image

will be tiny and very close to the focal point. While the object moves

towards the lens, the image moves out from the focal point and grows.

The image and object are of the same size when object is placed at 2F

which twice the focal distance from the lens. While moving the object

from 2F towards the focal length (F), the image keeps moving out from

the lens and grows till it goes to infinity. As the object moves closer

to the lens, the image steadily moves towards the lens from minus

infinity and gives you smaller the closer the object is to lens.
