Lens types, power, and signs
Converging lenses are thicker in the middle and bring parallel rays together. Diverging lenses are thinner in the middle and spread parallel rays out so they appear to come from a focal point.
Step-by-step lessons on AQA A Level Physics Defects of vision and their correction using lenses (A-level only). Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Physics is one of the most mathematically demanding A Levels -- at least 40% of the marks require maths skills at Level 2 (GCSE) standard or above, so build calculation and graph-handling fluency alongside the conceptual content from the start.
