AQA GCSE Drawing Ray Diagrams for Concave lens (Physics)
Drawing Ray diagrams for a concave lens
The concave lens is represented by a vertical line with the arrows pointing inwards. The position of the object is added onto the diagram, this should be located between F and 2F.
From the object draw a diagonal ray line that passes through the centre of the lens as shown below.
Now draw a horizontal ray line from the object to the concave lens as shown below.
A diagonal line is now drawn from F on the left of the lens, through the lens, meeting with the horizontal ray line that you have just drawn.
However, from F to the lens, this should be a dotted line. Beyond the lens, it should be a solid line. See the image below.
Between F and the lens, where the dotted line meets the solid line there is a peak of a triangle. Here, you will draw the arrow for the virtual image, as shown below.
The diagram is now complete. The image formed is virtual, upright and smaller than the object.
There are no practice questions here, but you should definetly practice drawing this.
