Ray Optics

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 36, Problem 36.6P

Two flat mirrors have their reflecting surfaces facing each other, with the edge of one mirror in contact with an edge of the other, so that the angle between the mirrors is α. When an object is placed between the mirrors, a number of images are formed. In general, if the angle α is such that nα = 360°, where n is an integer, the number of images formed is n − 1. Graphically, find all the image positions for the case n = 6 when a point object is between the mirrors (but not on the angle bisector).

Consider a convex lens having a thickness d whose sides have radii of curvature R1 and R2. a. Find the 2x2 matrix describing this lensb. What is the change in focal length for the case where the two radii equal R and d =0.1R, compared to the case where the lens thickness is neglected?

Two plane mirrors make the angle a = 63.0° between them. A ray of light incident on one of the mirrors is reflected and it hits the second mirror. Find the angle between the ray incident on the first mirror and the ray reflected off of the second mirror. B =
