A lens is defined as a portion of a refracting medium bordered by two curved surfaces which have a common axis.
When each surface forms a part of sphere, the lens is called a spherical lens.

A convex lens causes convergence of incident light, whereas a concave lens causes divergence of incident light.

Center of curvature (C) The centre of the sphere of which the refracting lens surface is a part.
Radius of curvature (r)
It is the radius of the sphere of which the refracting surface is a part.

The principal axis (AB) It is the line joining the centers of
curvature of its surfaces.
Optical centre (N) of the lens corresponds to the nodal point of a thick lens.

The principle focus (F) of a lens is that point on the principal axis where parallel rays of light, after passing through the lens ,converge (in convex lens) or appear to diverge (in concave lens)
The Focal length of a lens is the distance b/w the optical centre and the principal focus.
![Page 14: Spherical lens](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/5876ab071a28abd6508b789b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Power of a lens (P) The ability of the lens to
converge a beam of light falling on the lens.
Converging (convex) – positive Diverging (concave) – Negative Unit is dioptre (D)
![Page 15: Spherical lens](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/5876ab071a28abd6508b789b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Lenses of shorter focal length are more powerful than lenses of longer focal length.
F = 1/ f2
Where F = Vergence power of lens in dioptres.
f2 = Second focal length in metres
![Page 16: Spherical lens](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/5876ab071a28abd6508b789b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

So, in the above vergence at the lens is:
F = 1 / 0.25 = 4.00 D.
vergence at the lens is: F = 1/ 0.10 = 10.00 D.
![Page 18: Spherical lens](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/5876ab071a28abd6508b789b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Vergence is the term that determines the direction and power of light transmission.
The vergence of light is defined by:
V = n/LWhere n = refractive index of the material. L = the distance in accordance
![Page 19: Spherical lens](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/5876ab071a28abd6508b789b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Since the distance L1 is measured from the wavefront and the light is traveling from left to right, it is a negative distance and the vergence is negative (divergent).
L2 is positive since it is directed to the right from the wavefront (convergent)
![Page 20: Spherical lens](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/5876ab071a28abd6508b789b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Parallel light rays are said to have zero vergence.
The unit to measure vergence is “dioptre”. The change in vergence when the light encounters a refracting surface is equal to the power of the surface.

Most of the optical lenses have curved surfaces; the surface may be described as convex, if it bulges out of the material, and concave if it is depressed into the material.
The measure of the shape of a curved surface is known as curvature.
![Page 24: Spherical lens](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/5876ab071a28abd6508b789b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

The curvature of a spherical surface can be read with a simple instrument called “spherometer”.
![Page 26: Spherical lens](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/5876ab071a28abd6508b789b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The common form of spherometer normally available is the “Optician’s lens measure”.
More accurate version of this simple lens measure is used in surfacing laboratory and is known as “Sagometers”.

It is possible to determine the spherical lens by studying the image formed when two lines crossed at 90º, are viewed through the lens.
Spherical lens causes no distortion of the cross. However, when the lens is moved from side to side and up and down along the axis of the cross, the cross also appears to move.
![Page 31: Spherical lens](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061503/5876ab071a28abd6508b789b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Against movement:- In the case of a convex lens, the cross appears to move in the opposite direction to the lens .
With movement :- a movement in the same direction, is observed if the lens is concave.
Rotation of a spherical lens has no effect upon the image of the crossed lines.

To measure this accurately, the neutralizing lens must be placed in contact with the back surface of the spectacle lens.
with highly curved lenses, this is not possible and an air space intervenes. It is, therefore, better to place the neutralizing lens against the front surface of the spectacle lens.
