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…

Can you please explain these conceptual questions in detail? Thank you.

This is not a project and/or assignment for marks, as theses are textbook questions, and will not be copying the tutors work/answers. Please answer all the questions in the space provided and in full details. Answer in complete sentences. Take as much time as needed to answer all of the questions correct please and thank you. Will write a very neat and wonderful review afterwards.

well that was not help. I gues you guys don't bother reading the beginning, I can't read images and my screen reader won't read them for me. So instead of simply writing it out in html text... you waste my time again and write it up in images. Thanks. I guess I will have to ask this question again...
