Answer to Problem 90QAP

The total potential energy of four charges =Kq2a(13+5)

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Side of a rhombus is a
Short diagonal is length a and long diagonal is of length b
Calculation:

  Utotal=Uq1q2+Uq2q3+Uq1q3+Uq1q4+Uq2q4+Uq3q4=3Kq2a+Kq2a(1 3 +2)=Kq2a(1 3 +5)

Paraxial design of a field flattener. Imagine your optical system has Petzal curvature of the field with radius p. In Module 1 of Course 1, a homework problem asked you to derive the paraxial focus shift along the axis when a slab of glass was inserted in a converging cone of rays. Find or re-derive that result, then use it to calculate the paraxial radius of curvature of a field flattener of refractive index n that will correct the observed Petzval. Assume that the side of the flattener facing the image plane is plano. What is the required radius of the plano-convex field flattener? (p written as rho )
