2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does the System Matrix represent?
Think about how we use matrices in mathematics.
What are the components of a ray vector?
Consider what defines a ray's position.
What is the primary function of the System Matrix in optical systems?
Think about what you would do in optics to trace a ray.
True or False: The ray vector includes the distance traveled by the ray.
Reflect on what constitutes the ray's characteristics.
Given a multi-lens system with two convex lenses and a distance of 15 cm between them, derive the System Matrix and determine the output ray's height assuming initial height of the ray is 5 cm.
Ensure to use correct parameters for each lens in your matrices.
Consider a complex system with three different mediums. Analyze how the refractive indices influence the System Matrix and examine the final ray dispersion.
The specific values of the refractive indices will impact the angles significantly.
