L6-21: OPTICAL BOARD - DIVERGING SPHERICAL LENS
- L6-21
- Determine the focal point of a concave lens.
- Parallel rays incident on a diverging plano-concave spherical lens appear to emanate from the focal point of the lens. Optionally, two plano-concave diverging lenses can be placed together to increase the divergence and decrease the focal length. A slit baffle with concave and convex lenses may be used to create a set of parallel rays, which can be varied in number, color, and in spacing.
