Formula Biconvex lens
The lens equation for a biconvex lens relates the focal length(f), object distance(do), and image distance(di). The formula is given by:
1/f = 1/u + 1/v
Sign conventions are as follows:
- f is Positive for Converging Lenses and negative for diverging lenses.
- u is Positive for Objects on Same Side as Incident Light and Negative for Objects on Opposite Side
- v is Positive for Real images formed on Opposite Side of Incident Light and Negative for Virtual Images Formed on Same Side
Biconvex Lens – Definition & Meaning
Double convex or biconvex lens is a basic lens which has two convex surfaces. In general, the radius of curvature of both the surfaces of the biconvex lens are the same. Biconvex lenses are called convex-convex lenses.
