This item is an interactive Java tutorial for introductory physics students relating to geometrical optics. Users drag the mouse across the optical center of a simulated bi-convex lens, thus increasing or decreasing magnification. Also included is a brief tutorial on the fundamental elements of a simple lens. This item is part of a larger collection of materials on optics and microscopy developed by the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and Florida State University.
Please note that this resource requires Java.

Is Part Of
Molecular Expressions: Light and Color - Introduction to Lenses
This is a basic tutorial on simple lenses suitable for non-physics majors. It explains how lenses are classified according to their curvature and the type of refraction that occurs when light travels through them. relation by Caroline Hall
Is Supplemented By
Molecular Expressions: Optical Microscopy Primer - Lenses and Geometrical Optics
This item is an advanced tutorial for students of introductory optics on simple lenses and the geometry involved in tracing light rays through lenses. It explores lens structure, convergence and divergence, optical distortion, and contains links to 15 related Java simulations. relation by Caroline HallKnow of another related resource?
