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…

Chapter 36, Problem 36.52P

Underwater Photography. An underwater camera has a lens with focal length in air of 35.0 mm and a maximum aperture of f/2.80. The film it uses has an emulsion that is sensitive to light of frequency 6.00 × 10¹⁴ Hz. If the photographer takes a picture of an object 2.75 m in front of the camera with the lens wide open what is the width of the smallest resolvable detail on the subject if the object is (a) a fish underwater with the camera in the water and (b) a person on the beach with the camera out of the water?

The normal lens on a 35-mmmm camera has a focal length of 50.0 mmmm . Its aperture diameter varies from a maximum of 25 mmmm (f/2f/2) to a minimum of 2.3 mmmm (f/22). a) Determine the resolution limit set by diffraction for f/2f/2. Specify as the number of lines per millimeter resolved on the film. Take λλ = 560 nmnm. b) Determine the resolution limit set by diffraction forf/22f/22. Specify as the number of lines per millimeter resolved on the film. Take λλ = 560 nmnm.

A lens with an index of refraction of n2 = 1.60 is to be coated with a film of material (n, = 1.40) that will cause predominantly yellow- orange light (1 = 590 nm) to reflect when it is normally incident. What is the smallest non-zero thickness that will predominantly reflect this wavelength of light? %3D %3D A 184 nm В 211 nm C) 92 nm 105 nm

Often in optics scientists take advantage of effects that require very high intensity light. To get the desired effect a scientist uses a laser with power P = 0.0065 W to reach an intensity of I = 170 W/cm2 by focusing it through a lens of focal length f = 0.11 m. The beam has a radius of r = 0.0011m when it enters the lens. Randomized VariablesP = 0.0065 WI = 170 W/cm2f = 0.11 mr = 0.0011 Part (a) Express the radius of the beam, rp, at the point where it reaches the desired intensity in terms of the given quantities. (In other words, what radius does the beam have to have after passing through the lens in order to have the desired intensity?) Part (b) Give an expression for the tangent of the angle that the edge of the beam exits the lens with with respect to the normal to the lens surface, in terms of r and f? Part (c) Express the distance, D, between the lens's focal point and the illuminated object using tan(α) and rp. Part (d) Find the distance, D, in centimeters.…
