A heads up to everyone who watches this video and the creator. The cross multiplication contains a small error. r=2f not 1/2f. The rest may be helpful but I stopped watching after I noticed this mistake. Regardless, thanks to this video for tackling this often difficult subject.

Thanks so much for catching that math error! I'll add a correction to the video - sometimes simple math gets the best of even us science teachers :). I do hope you found the concepts and vocabulary in this lesson useful; lenses are especially likely to show up on the MCAT, and the terminology can be tricky to keep organized. Thanks again!!
