We will only discuss double concave diverging lenses as shown in
[link] . Concave lenses are thicker on the outside and thinner on the inside.
[link] shows a concave lens with light rays travelling through it. You can see that concave lenses have the opposite curvature to convex lenses. This causes light rays passing through a concave lens to
diverge or be spread out
away from the principal axis. For this reason, concave lenses are called
diverging lenses. Images formed by concave lenses are
always virtual.
Unlike converging lenses, the type of images created by a concave lens is not dependent on the position of the object. The image is
always upright, smaller than the object, and located closer to the lens than the object.
We examine the properties of the image by drawing ray diagrams. We can find the image by tracing the path of three light rays through the lens. Any two of these rays will show us the location of the image. You can use the third ray to check the location, but it is not necessary to show it on your diagram.
Drawing Ray Diagrams for Diverging Lenses
Draw the three rays starting at the top of the object.
Ray
travels parallel to the principal axis. The ray bends and lines up with a focal point. However, the concave lens is a
diverging lens, so the ray must line up with the focal point on the same side of the lens where light rays enter it. This means that we must project an imaginary line backwards through that focal point (
) (shown by the dashed line extending from
).
Ray
points towards the focal point
on the opposite side of the lens. When it hits the lens, it is bent parallel to the principal axis.
Ray
passes through the optical center of the lens. Like for the convex lens, this ray passes through with its direction unchanged.
We find the image by locating the point where the rays meet. Since the rays diverge, they will only meet if projected backward to a point on the same side of the lens as the object. This is why concave lenses
always have virtual images. (Since the light rays do not actually meet at the image, the image cannot be real.)
[link] shows an object placed at an arbitrary distance from the diverging lens.
We can locate the position of the image by drawing our three rays for a diverging lens.
[link] shows that the image of an object is upright. The image is called a
virtual image because it is on the same side of the lens as the object.
The image is smaller than the object and is closer to the lens than the object.
An object is placed 4 cm to the left of a diverging lens which has
a focal length of 6 cm.
What is the position of the image?
Is the image real or virtual?
Draw the lens, object, principal axis and focal points.
goes from the top of the object parallel to the principal axis.
To determine the angle it has when it leaves the lens on the other side, wedraw the dashed line from the focus
through the point where
hits the lens. (Remember: for a diverging lens, the light ray on the opposite
side of the lens to the object has to bend
away from the principal axis.)
goes from the top of the object in the direction of the other focal
point
. After it passes through the lens, it travels parallel to the
principal axis.
goes from the top of the lens, straight through the optical centre
with its direction unchanged.
Just like for converging lenses, the image is found at the position where
all the light rays intersect.
Draw the image at the point where all three rays intersect.
The distance to the object is 2,4 cm.
The image is on the same side of the lens as the object, and is upright. Therefore it is virtual. (
Remember: The image from a diverging lens is
always virtual.)
The properties of the images formed by converging and diverging lenses depend on the position of the object. The properties are summarised in the

Summary of image properties for converging and diverging lenses
Diverging lenses
An object 3 cm high is at right angles to the principal axis of a concave lens of focal length 15 cm. If the distance from the object to the lens is 30 cm, find the distance of the image from the lens, and its height. Is it real or virtual?
The image formed by a concave lens of focal length 10 cm is 7,5 cm from the lens and is 1,5 cm high. Find the distance of the object from the lens, and its height.
An object 6 cm high is 10 cm from a concave lens. The image formed is 3 cm high. Find the focal length of the lens and the distance of the image from the lens.
Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments
_Adnan
But not all bacteria make spores, l mean Eukaryotic cells have Mitochondria which acts as powerhouse for them, since bacteria don't have it, what is the substitution for it?
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
There are nothing like emergency disease but there are some common medical emergency which can occur simultaneously like Bleeding,heart attack,Breathing difficulties,severe pain heart stock.Hope you will get my point .Have a nice day ❣️

define infection ,prevention and control

I think infection prevention and control is the avoidance of all things we do that gives out break of infections and promotion of health practices that promote life
