Terms for Lenses
Terms for Lenses
The lenses are made of two curved surfaces which are a part of the sphere. The diagram below shows important terms related to Convex Lens.
The diagram below shows important terms related to Concave Lens.
Optical Centre (O):
The central point O of the lens is called its optical centre. A ray incident towards the optical centre passes almost without any deviation through the lens.
Centres of Curvature:
The centres of the two imaginary spheres of which the lens is a part are called centre of curvature of the lens. It represented by . A lens has two centres of curvature with respect to its two curved surfaces.
Radii of Curvature:
The radii of the two imaginary spheres of which the lens is a part are called radii of curvature of the lens. A lens has two radii of curvature. These may or may not be equal.
Principal Axis:
Lens is bounded by two spherical surfaces, and therefore, has two centres of curvature and
. The imaginary line joining them is called the Principal Axis of the lens.It passes through the optical centre.
Principal Focus
A lens has two surfaces and hence two focal points first focal point is an object on the principal axis foe which image is at infinity while second focal point is an image point on the principal axis for which object is at infinity.
First Principal Focus It is a point on the principal axis of lens, the rays starting from or directed to which become parallel to principal axis after refraction.
Second Principal Focus It is the point on the principal axis at which the rays coming parallel to the principal axis converge on the other side of lens (convex) or appear to meet on the same side of lens (concave) after refraction from the lens.
Both the foci of convex lens are real while that of concave lens are virtual.
Focal Length:
The distance between optical centre of a lens and the point where the parallel beam of light converge or appear to diverge from i.e. focus is called focal length.
Focal Plane:
The plane passing through the focus and perpendicular to the principal axis is called focal plane.
Aperture :
The effective diameter of its light transmitting area is called the aperture of lens. It controls the brightness i.e. intensity of image formed by a lens which depends on the light passing through the lens. It is proportional to the square of aperture.i.e.

Students / Parents Reviews [20]
Usually we see institutes offering objective based learning which usually causes a lag behind in subjective examinations which is the pattern followed by schools. I think it is really a work of planning to make us students grab the advantages of modes of examination, Objective Subjective and Onli...

8thA marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.

7thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very nice or it can be said wonderful. I have been studying here from seven class. I have been completing my journey of three years. I am tinking that I should join Abhyas Academy in tenth class as I am seeing much improvement in Maths and English

9thThe experience was nice. I studied here for three years and saw a tremendous change in myself. I started liking subjects like English and SST which earlier I ran from. Extra knowledge gave me confidence to overcome competitive exams. One of the best institutes for secondary education.

10thI have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying

10thAbhyas is good institution and a innovative institute also. It is a good platform of beginners.Due to Abhyas,he has got knoweledge about reasoning and confidence.My son has improved his vocabulary because of Abhyas.Teacher have very friendly atmosphere also.
Manish Kumar
10thOne of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
Aman Kumar Shrivastava
10thWe started with lot of hope that Abhyas will help in better understnding of complex topics of highers classes. we are not disappointed with the progress our child has made after attending Abhyas. Though need to mention that we expected a lot more. On a scale of 1-10, we would give may be 7.

8thWhen I have not joined Abhyas Academy, my skills of solving maths problems were not clear. But, after joining it, my skills have been developed and my concepts of science and SST are very well. I also came to know about other subjects such as vedic maths and reasoning.
Sharandeep Singh
7thMy experience with Abhyas Academy has been very good. When I was not in Abhyas whenever teacher ask questions I could not speak it confidently but when I came in Abhyas, my speaking skills developed and now I am the first one to give the answer of teachers question.
Upmanyu Sharma
7thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
