  • Short derivation of the lens maker formula using curved surface refraction formula. This formula connects the focal length of a lens to its refractive index & the radii of curvatures. To make the derivation short, we skip using the sign conventions.

      ​​@@danielnoah2024tbh we do use sign convention when we derive equations right, all this time, I'd like to think that we have indeed used Cartesian sign convention and measure the lengths from the optical centres in here (since there's two curved surfaces the direction in which we will have to measure distance towards the optical centre differs) and heights of objects and images are not required for this lens maker formula there was no need to change signs at all. So if what he said is true we have to change signs in this formula only when we're solving problems where we measure distance from the objects or images to the optical centre. sorry for this rant >_< I just hope this is how it works

    3:28 intuitively, it makes sense for the focus to be at I because thats where the parallel ray would've met the other incident ray after refraction. an interesting observation here that the focus doesn't have any definition other than just a point at which two parallel rays meet after refraction no matter how many times it gets refracted.

But whatever the curved surface(may be 1 curved surface or biconvex) the parallel ray should meet the focus.. Then why it touches optical axis beyond c??

    Hoping somebody could help me with this one. In the derivation for refraction from a curved surface, we used sign convention to generalize the cases, such that they apply to each and every case(Watch Mahesh sir's vid on the same). But here, we are doing the exact opposite by not using it! Any help would be appreciated😄

    • @ishanrai1227
      @ishanrai1227 4 роки тому +4

      Think of sign convention as a way to transform a "general equation" (that work for all cases like say for both concave or convex) into a "specific equation" (whatever situation we have at hand) and vice versa.
      For the curved surface we derive for a specific case right? Then to generalise it we use sign conventions.
      In this derivation we can also use signs. If we do we end up using it twice. Let's see how.
      First we are applying the general curve refraction formula for our specific case, so we need to use signs. (First time).
      Finally after deriving everything, we would have derived the lens makers formula for A SPECIFIC CASE (bi convex lens in our example).
      So to make it a general formula we need to AGAIN apply sign convention. (Second time).
      Applying sign conventions twice is like multiplying with negative 1 twice which has no over all effect on sign. And so to make the process a little less tedious I didn't use signs :)

      If we had used sign coventions at 9:19 it would have been (n1/f) - (n2/v) = (n2 - n1)/ (-R2) .And finally I have to apply sign conventions again to generalise the equation. Am I right sir ?
      And is this the only sign convention that has to be applied to specify the equation for convex lens ? Or is there any other sign conventions to be applied in addition to this ?

      Because the regular lens formula is derived AFTER you derive this formula.
      The NCERT textbook for class 12 Physics (Volume II) has a neat derivation that hits two birds with the same arrow. The lens maker's formula and the thin lens formula are derived one after the other at one go.
