    Uses for convex/converging lenses
    What are the uses for converging lenses when the object is situated at these different distances:

    (where F= Focal length)

    Object is beyond 2F

    Object is at 2F

    Object beyond F and 2F

    Object between F and the lens (one use is magnifying glasses, any others?)

    please note: I know all the types of images formed at each distance just not examples of how the 'distances' or lenses are used in practise

    Thanks for any help

    It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out MarkedbyTeachers.com, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of essays in the UK.

    They've got over 181,000+ coursework, essays, homeworks etc.. all written by GCSE, A Level, University and IB students across all topics. You get access either by publishing some of your own work, or paying £4.99 for a month's access. Both ways give you unlimited access to all of the essays.

    All their documents are submitted to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, so it can't be misused, and the site's used by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

    What's more, you can take a look around the site and preview the work absolutely free. Click here to find out more...
