Introduction
Thin lens is a lens with a thickness (distance along the optical **** between the two surfaces of the lens) that is negligible compared to the radii of curvature of the lens surfaces.
Rays follow simple rules when passing through a thin lens, in the paraxial ray approximation:
1. Any ray that enters parallel to the **** on one side of the lens proceeds towards the focal point F on the other side.
2. Any ray that arrives at the lens after passing through the focal point on the front side, comes out parallel to the **** on the other side.
3. Any ray that passes through the center of the lens will not change its direction
The equation is
1/u+1/v = 1/f
where
u is object distance to lens center line
v is image distance to lens center line
f is focus length of the lens

Interesting Fact
This simulation can allow for object to be on the right side of the lens, which is a lot harder to code than the typical one sided object on the left of the lens. It also comes will dotted light rays lines for virtual image and solid lines for real images. Applications of the different ranges of focus length are coded inside the simulation too.
