(Questions 11-15)
(I) A magnifying lens has many uses. (II) It is used by watchmakers,
scientists and long-sighted people. (III) It is thicker in the
middle than at the edges, and is known as a convex lens. (IV) A
convex lens can be used to concentrate the sun’s rays and thus burn a
hole in a piece of paper. (V) The spot where the sun’s rays are
concentrated by the lens is known as the focal point. (VI) The
distance between the focal point and the lens is known as the focal
length. (VII) The focal length differs with the thickness of the
lens. (VIII) Another type of lens is thinner in the middle than
at the edges, and is known as a concave lens. (IX) Owing to the
fact that parallel light rays passing through a convex lens converge,
this type of lens is known as a converging lens. (X) Owing to the
fact that parallel light rays passing through a concave lens diverge,
this type of lens is known as a diverging lens. (XI) If a
converging lens is held in front of a window and a white card is held at
the focal point, and image of the window will be seen on the card. (XII) A mirror must be flat if it is going to throw back an image
which is exactly the same as the thing in front. (XIII) The image
will be inverted, because the light rays from the window are made to
converge by the converging lens.
