GEOMETRICAL OPTICS: Positive and Negative Sign Conventions

In order for the Thin-Lens Equation and similar derivations to mathematically represent thin-lens systems, sign conventions must be assigned to the physical parameters encountered within optical systems that are modeled. In some circumstances, relationships between the height of an object ( ho ) or image ( hi ) are related to the distances ( doContinue reading “GEOMETRICAL OPTICS: Positive and Negative Sign Conventions”
