This document discusses refraction of light and images formed by lenses. It defines refraction as the bending of light when passing from one medium to another due to changes in speed. Convex lenses converge light to a focal point, while concave lenses diverge light. Lenses are used in devices like cameras and microscopes, and to correct eye defects like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

by lenses. Reviewing the previous lesson 1. What is refraction of light? •Refraction is he bending of light as it passes 2. Why do light bend? •Light bends as it passes through from one medium to another because of the change in the speed of light as it travels in different medium. The change in speed is due to the different densities of the media. 3. How do optical density affects the speed of light •Medium with high optical density will slow down the light, while medium with low optical density will speed up the light. Presenting examples/instances 1. What happens to light rays as it passes through lenses? •When light ray passes through lenses, it will bend. It is called refraction of light. 2. What are lenses? •Lenses are smoothly curved transparent glass materials that will allow the passage of light. “Find the Difference” •Let the students differentiate the two lenses in terms of: a. Physical characteristics b. Behavior of light as it passes through them. a. Physical characteristic(s): The convex lens, it is thicker at the center than the edges while the concave lens, it is thicker at the edges and thinner at the center. b. Behavior of light: The convex lens is called the converging lens because the light that passes through it tends to converge at a particular point called the focal point, while the concave lens, it is called the diverging lens because light passes through it tends to diverge at the focus. Perform Activity 7 – “You can be magnified” – Learners Material, pages 195 – 197 Guide Question(s): 1. What are the different application(s) of lenses? Answer •Lenses are used in different kinds of optical instruments namely; camera, telescope, microscope..etc.. It is also used to correct common eye defects. 2. How do lenses used in order to correct common eye defects? •Lenses are use to correct common eye defects. Different eye defects have a specified lens to be used. a. Nearsighted (Myopia) diverging lens b. Farsighted (Hyperopia) – converging lens c. Astigmatism – glasses with a uniform curvature to prevent aberration(s) Evaluating Learning 1. The bending of light as it passes through different media is called ________. 2. Convex lens are called to be ____________, because light will brought to a focus. 3. Concave lens is called the ___________ because refracted rays are scattered. 4. __________ is used to correct farsightedness. 5. __________ is used to correct nearsightedness. •Correct Answer(s): 1. Refraction of light 2. converging lens 3. Diverging lens 4. Converging lens 5. Diverging lens
