Power of Lens using Distance Rule

Go Power of Lens = Power of First Lens+Power of Second Lens-Width of Lens*Power of First Lens*Power of Second Lens

Focal Length using Distance Formula

Go Focal Length of Lens = (Focal Length 1+Focal Length 2-Width of Lens)/(Focal Length 1*Focal Length 2)

Object Distance in Concave Lens

Go Object Distance of Concave Lens = (Image Distance*Focal Length of Concave Lens)/(Image Distance-Focal Length of Concave Lens)

Object Distance in Convex Lens

Go Object Distance of Convex Lens = (Image Distance*Focal Length of Convex Lens)/(Image Distance-(Focal Length of Convex Lens))

Lens Makers Equation

Go Focal Length of Thin Lens = 1/((Lens Refractive Index-1)*(1/Radius of Curvature at Section 1-1/Radius of Curvature at Section 2))

Focal Length of Concave Lens given Image and Object Distance

Go Focal Length of Concave Lens = (Object Distance*Image Distance)/(Image Distance+Object Distance)

Focal Length of Convex Lens given Object and Image Distance

Go Focal Length of Convex Lens = -(Object Distance*Image Distance)/(Object Distance+Image Distance)

Magnification of Concave Lens

Go Magnification of Concave Lens = Image Distance/Object Distance

Magnification of Convex Lens

Go Magnification of Convex Lens = -Image Distance/Object Distance

Focal Length of Convex Lens given Radius

Go Focal Length of Convex Lens = -(Radius)/(Refractive Index-1)

Focal Length of Concave Lens given Radius

Go Focal Length of Concave Lens = Radius/(Refractive Index-1)

Power of Lens

Go Power of Lens = 1/Focal Length of Lens

Total Magnification

Go Total Magnification = Magnification^2

What is a Convex Lens?

A convex lens is a type of lens that is thicker in the center than at the edges. It converges light rays that pass through it, bringing them to a focal point. Convex lenses are commonly used in applications such as magnifying glasses, cameras, and eyeglasses for farsightedness.

How to Calculate Magnification of Convex Lens?

Magnification of Convex Lens calculator uses Magnification of Convex Lens = -Image Distance/Object Distance to calculate the Magnification of Convex Lens, Magnification of Convex Lens formula is defined as a measure of the enlargement or reduction of an object's size when viewed through a convex lens, describing the ratio of the image distance to the object distance, which determines the scale of the image formed by the lens. Magnification of Convex Lens is denoted by m_convex symbol.

How to calculate Magnification of Convex Lens using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Magnification of Convex Lens, enter Image Distance (v) & Object Distance (u) and hit the calculate button.
