Description

A lens is an object which is designed to refract the electromagnetic waves which are incident on it.  In this video, we’ll talk through the basics of convex and concave lenses before going on to get lots and lots of practice in drawing a number of ray diagrams which you’ll be expected to understand and potentially reproduce in your exam.
