The symbolic and linguistic system used in it was analyzed. The results show that the formal expressions that quantify the phenomenon, the adopted sign conventions and the proposed teaching sequences are dissimilar.

It is concluded that there are few figures, infrequent, that invite to deepen some issues that deserve to be problematized and explained in classroom situations. Se examinó, mediante el análisis de contenido, el tratamiento dado al fenómeno de refracción en lentes delgadas en una muestra intencional de diez libros universitarios de Física, usados habitualmente en el ciclo básico de carreras científico-tecnológicas argentinas. Se analizó el sistema simbólico y lingüístico empleado en ella. Los resultados muestran que las expresiones formales que cuantifican el fenómeno, las convenciones de signos adoptadas y las secuencias de enseñanza propuestas son disímiles. Las imágenes se utilizan, mayoritariamente, para describir apelando a esquemas, se muestran en blanco y negro, no contienen etiquetas verbales ni ambigüedades. Todas las imágenes están relacionadas con el texto principal. Se concluye que existen escasas figuras, poco frecuentes, que invitan a profundizar algunas cuestiones que merecen ser problematizadas y explicitadas en situaciones áulicas.
