This resource offers comprehensive background information on the nature of lenses and their refractive properties. Accompanying ray diagrams provide valuable tools for understanding how images are formed by both converging and diverging lenses. Sample problems and solutions relating to the mathematics of lenses are provided, along with a brief self-guided quiz.
