3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the structure of the translation matrix?
Think about how the matrix reflects the distance traveled by light.
What do the terms n1 and n2 represent in the refraction matrix?
Consider what happens when light passes through different materials.
What does the translation matrix represent?
Consider how light moves through an empty space.
True or False: The refractive index is a measure of light's speed in a vacuum.
Reflect on how light behaves in various materials.
Design a simple optical system with one lens of focal length 25 cm and a 15 cm space. Calculate the output ray height and angle using matrices.
Remember to apply the lens formula while calculating.
Given two media (water with n=1.33 and air with n=1.0) and a spherical surface with radius -10 cm, derive the refraction matrix and explain how light would behave at the surface.
Focus on what happens as light transitions from water to air.
