- In a ray diagram, the initial point represents the source of light, while the ending point represents the observer's position. Each ray represents a beam of light, and they are drawn following specific rules that depend on the geometry and properties of the object that the ray encounters on its way.

In this section of Lesson 5, we will investigate the method for drawing ray diagrams for objects placed at various locations in front of a double convex lens. To draw these ray diagrams, we will have to recall the three rules of refractionfor a double convex lens: 1. Any incident ray traveling parallel to the principal axis of a converging lens wil...
The method of drawing ray diagrams for double convex lens is described below. The description is applied to the task of drawing a ray diagram for an object located beyond the 2F pointof a double convex lens. 1. Pick a point on the top of the object and draw three incident rays traveling towards the lens. 2. Once these incident rays strike the lens,...
In the three cases described above - the case of the object being located beyond 2F, the case of the object being located at 2F, and the case of the object being located between 2F and F - light rays are converging to a point after refracting through the lens. In such cases, a real image is formed. As discussed previously, a real image is formed wh...
Thus far we have seen via ray diagrams that a real image is produced when an object is located more than one focal length from a converging lens; and a virtual image is formed when an object is located less than one focal length from a converging lens (i.e., in front of F). But what happens when the object is located at F? That is, what type of ima...
In this chapter, we look at the reflection of light, how light interacts with mirrors, and how mirrors can be used to form images. To understand reflection and image formation, we will use a model of light based on rays and wave fronts – this is a much simpler model than the electromagnetic wave perspective.
In the situations shown here, light interacts with objects large enough that it travels in straight lines, like a ray. Experiments, as well as our own experiences, show that when light interacts with objects several times as large as its wavelength, it travels in straight lines and acts like a ray.
Jul 7, 2021 · Light and matter interact with each other. Matter can absorb light (take it in); emit light (give it off); transmit light (allow it to pass through); reflect light (cause it to bounce off); and refract light (cause it to change speed and direction).

A ray diagram is a visual representation of the path that light takes when it interacts with an optical system. It is used to analyze and predict how light will behave as it passes through lenses, mirrors, and other optical devices.
