Physics on Khan Academy: Physics is the study of the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. We'll start by looking at motion itself. Then, we'll learn about forces, momentum, energy, and other concepts in lots of different physical situations. To get the most out of physics, you'll need a solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry.
About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more.

Not even 20 seconds in the video and David has already figured out my dilemma in this lesson---"When are these positives or negatives?". Literally made me excited that I was watching the correct video.

Thank you so much for this explanation! I usually don't have any problems with physics, but this issue was just too confusing. I have a book that mentions how to determine the signs, but it just made matters worse. I'd take my semi-understanding and attempt to answer an equation with it, and I just keep getting it wrong. This video makes it so amazingly simple. Again, thank you so much, you've been a great help.

Hi! Thank you, Khan videos have helped me a lot! I just wanted to point out that the description of the lens use at 5:17 is not quite accurate in terms of the eye. That would be a _real image_, which you would not view in that manner (or at all). A real image is one that is actually formed on a surface, which could only be viewed from behind like that if there was, say, a plane of frosted glass or a piece of translucent paper. Real images are generally formed on film, sensors, retinas, etc. or viewed anew with your own eye forming _another_ image. In other words, a flat surface must be present to realize a real image, and it would probably be viewed from off axis. Yes, positive diopter lenses can be used in that schematic layout for corrective purposes, but that is to partially converge light (and not form an image yet) before your eye lens can form a real image on your retina (which would be the case for far-sightedness -- nearsightedness would require a negative diopter lens). Sorry, don't mean to be a stickler!
@dskim24
4 жыл бұрын
Oh. except if the image is inside the focal length, in which case the image would be upright and virtual. Magnifying glass style. Then yes, your eye would be there, but the rays would not be converging.

In convex lens, where did you get the 6cm? Sorry, I just didn't processed it correctly because i think you jump that part. Please answer 🥺
@michaelhafen
2 жыл бұрын
At 10:15, we can simplify 1/-8cm - 1/24 cm into -1/6cm by finding the least common multiple of the denominators (aka multiply the top and bottom of one of the fractions so that they will add easily) : First, recognize that -1/8 is equivalent to -3/24. (multiply the numerator and denominator by 3). With the same denominator, -3/24 and -1/24 can be added to become -4/24. Simplifying -4/24, we get -1/6.
This is remarkably articulated. Thank you.

Learning this in grade 7, some really crazy shit
would b better if u could explain sign convention rules der like d graphs...stuff formed on d right side is +ve and stuff on d left side -ve and so on...
on one of the practice problems amcas gave the equation /0 + 1/i = s and asked to solve for the strength of the person's eye. Looking back it was probably a plug and chug especially since they gave the equation but it was the first time I have seen this equation. I'm only familiar with the solving for focal length and magnification. Are there any videos on lens strength anywhere?
@Imubozuu
6 жыл бұрын
10 months after, sorry. But, I think by "strength " it meant using the lens power equation : P = 1/F where F is in meters.
What about when object distance is less than the focal length for a convex lens? Doesn't that make S' negative, but it's on the opposite side of the lens than the object?
I was wondering if a very wide lens is used or the widest can simulate some special effects, like Interstellar movie from CN
whether mirror and lens equations are same? for lens it should be (1/f = 1/v - 1/u) right?
What about calculating strength of lens?
thanks

+Noo Rii Not sure if it is too late, did you figure it out? I assume you're not getting this because you want to avoid using a calculator, which you do not need. First find common denominators to change -1/8 - 1/24 by multiplying by 3/3 to both. Then it becomes -3/24 - 1/24 which is -4/24, which reduces to -1/6. But you have to take the reciprocal in order to find your f, di, or do.

+Syazlina Aasim in case of conves lens if distance of image is positive then image must be real(because light are actually meeting ) and inverted (because image is form below the principle axes ) .In case of concave lens if image is taken as negative thats mean image is real and inverted . hope you got.
Can anyone help me with this ? The image of an object formed on the screen by a convex lens has height a. By moving the lens towards the screen , it is found that there is a second lens position at which another image of height b is formed on the screen. Prove that the height of the object is (ab)^0.5 .
Thank u 👍
These comments are so helpful
excellent
Does it matter where your eye is located? Does the image stay in focus whether your eye is 10cm away, 50cm away etc? I'm trying to determine if there is a good position to place your eye so that the object is in focus or if focus matters?

Why some other videos concace is positive and convex is negative. So which is the correct
@aravindgopinath5084

For convex, it can be positive or negative depending on object distance from the lens. Only when object distance is less than the focal length does the image distance become negative for convex lens.
Soooo how do you figure out the heights of the object and image......?

that is when you're using cartesian sign conventions, in that case the lens formula becomes 1/f = 1/v - 1/u. you should use the formula which your teacher has suggested you to avoid confusion.

+ve or -ve also simplifies directions. What I have learnt is if anything two of these u, v and f have same signs then they are on the same side of the mirror. But that's not what he is saying. If say u and v are both positive then how can they be on different sides.. THAT'S WRONG!!!!!!

denominator has to be equal for adding fractions. (-1/8) x (3/3) = -3/24. (-3/24) - (1/24) = -4/24 = -1/6
how the heck do you get -1/6?
how did you get 1/6th? -8-24 =32? right? or are we subtracting fractions? someone please explain!
@diegoarabit1202
6 жыл бұрын
We are subtracting fractions in this problem. Now in order to subtract fractions you must find common denominators. In this case 1/-8 and -1/24, the common denominator is 24, so multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/-8 by -3 to get -3/24, now you got a common denominator of 24, so you can subtract; -3/24 and -1/24 to get -4/24 you can now simplify this fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4 to get -1/6. I too was confused for a bit because he skipped this step in the video.
I think you made a mistake regarding the sign of magnification and it indicating inverted/non-inverted image.

When you're adding or subtracting fractions, you need common denominators. -1/8 becomes -3/24, so now you can subtract: (-3/24) - (1/24) = -4/24 (reduced form is -1/6). It's negative, not positive. Hope this helps!
Not good. The issue of this video is how the image is formed. It is missing information.
Interesting how he can't explain the Algebra II concept of rotational integration, aka rotational volumetric integration about the center. This should be continued. He probably knows it now lol
ayy, that's a pretty confusing video you got yourself there
okay but how the fuck do you get '-6' from '-8 - 24' ?
