When we evaluate systems that contain thin lenses, several parameters within the system may be of interest to us. At times, the distances that separate the object ( do ) and image ( di ) from a lens at hand are related to the physical dimensions of the lens itself by the Thin-Lens Equation, alsoContinue reading “GEOMETRICAL OPTICS: Object and Image Focal Points and Focal Lengths”

GEOMETRICAL OPTICS: Thin Convex Lenses
Spherical wavefronts of radiation emanate from point sources of light. As the electromagnetic wavefront expands, it carries energy and momentum that become more dispersed as the wavefront gets larger. If the distance between a light source and detector ( such as the human eye ) is infinite, the light detector will intercept a small componentContinue reading “GEOMETRICAL OPTICS: Thin Convex Lenses”
