Concept explainers

Optics is the study of light in the field of physics. It refers to the study and properties of light. Optical phenomena can be classified into three categories: ray optics, wave optics, and quantum optics. Geometrical optics, also known as ray optics, is…

Converging Lens

Converging lens, also known as a convex lens, is thinner at the upper and lower edges and thicker at the center. The edges are curved outwards. This lens can converge a beam of parallel rays of light that is coming from outside and focus it on a point on…

Plano-Convex Lens

To understand the topic well we will first break down the name of the topic, ‘Plano Convex lens’ into three separate words and look at them individually.

Lateral Magnification

In very simple terms, the same object can be viewed in enlarged versions of itself, which we call magnification. To rephrase, magnification is the ability to enlarge the image of an object without physically altering its dimensions and structure. This pr…

Textbook Question

Chapter 35, Problem 96P

A camera lens with index of refraction greater than 1.30 is coated with a thin transparent film of index of refraction 1.25 to eliminate by interference the reflection of light at wavelength λ that is incident perpendicularly on the lens. What multiple of λ gives the minimum film thickness needed?

Students have asked these similar questions

A plastic lens is coated on the outside with a thin film of graphene to prevent the transmission of UV light with wavelength, λ = 250 nm from the lens surface. The index of refraction of graphene is 1.30; that of the plastic is 1.58. What is the minimum graphene coating thickness that blocks the transmission of the UV-light with wavelength, λ = 250 nm)?

A lens with an index of refraction of 1.60 is to be coated with a material (n = 1.40) that will make the lens nonreflecting for yellow-orange light (λλ = 515 nm) normally incident on the lens. What is the minimum required thickness of the coating?

A thin layer of a transparent material that has an index of refraction of 1.25 is used as a nonreflective coating on the surface of glass that has an index of refraction of 1.50. What should the minimum thickness of the material be for the material to be nonreflecting for light that has a wavelength of 578 nm?
