single surface
Axial
magnification
foreshortening
Examples
Ex:
Simple application of the
lens equations
Ex:
focal length of a
plano-convex
lens
Ex:
focal length of a
plano-concave
lens
Ex:
Minimum distance between object and real image for
convex lens

principal planes
Principal planes can reside
outside
the lens
