    The focal length of an optical system is a measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light; it is the inverse of the system's optical power. A positive focal length indicates that a system converges light, while a negative focal length indicates that the system diverges light.

  4. For a simple, thin convex lens, the focal length is the distance from the back surface of the lens to the plane of the image formed of an object placed infinitely far in front of the lens.

  5. Feb 20, 2022 · The distance from the center of the lens to its focal point is defined to be the focal length \(f\) of the lens. Figure 2 shows how a converging lens, such as that in a magnifying glass, can converge the nearly parallel light rays from the sun to a small spot.

  6. Learn how to calculate the focal length of a thin or thick lens from the lens-maker's formula. Find out how the focal length depends on the index of refraction, the radii of curvature, and the medium of the lens.
