Objects that produce their own light are said to be luminous. xamples are the sun, electric bulbs, candle light etc., whereas, non luminous objects do not produce their own light. 4e can see these objects only when light fall on them from other sources and it is thrown bac5 or reflected into our eyes. An important example is that of the moon, which shines in the night because it reflects light coming from the sun and not because it is luminous. Optics is the science or more specifically a branch of physics in which we study the behavior and properties of light. The study also includes the interaction of light with matter and construction of instruments that use or detect it. For the sake of convenience the subject of optics can be divided into two parts6 2i3 physical or wave optics1 which deals with the wave nature of light. It accounts for optical effects such as diffraction and interference etc., and 2ii3 geometrical or ray optics1 which deals with the formation of images by lenses and mirrors and their combinations on the basis of certain geometrical laws obeyed by light. The present block of the course 7optics‘ is dedicated to the geometrical optics only hence, in the following sections, we will concentrate on its learning

    Spherical Mirror Parabolic Mirror Ray Diagrams for Mirrors

    Ray Diagrams for Mirrors September 8, 2015 1:24 PM Light rays travel in straight lines and so when we see one we assume it is coming straight towards us. But as physics students we know that light can be refracted and bent. Plane Mirror Object Image Plane mirrors form images at the same distance to the mirror as the object. This image is a virtual image as it is behind the mirror and impossible to project on a piece of paper in the real world. Question: Do we see more of ourselves as we get closer to the mirror or less? Question: What size of mirror do we need to see all of ourselves? Question: In a plane mirror is the images height larger, smaller or equal to the objects? Plane Mirrors: Are flat reflective surfaces that create a virtual image with the same height as the object and at the same distance from the mirror as the object. Concave Mirrors These are mirrors that are curved with their outer edges closer to you then their centers. Just like a parenthesis ")". They reflect light towards their focal points. The most ideal curved mirror is a Parabolic Mirror but these are extremely difficult to produce accurately. Most Parabolic Mirrors are approximations created from taking a small portion of a spherical mirror. Parabolic Mirror Spherical Mirror Optics Page 1 Parabolic Mirror Spherical Mirror Principal Axis = focal point = center of circle Convex Mirrors Convex Mirrors are just the opposite of a concave mirror. They are like a backwards parenthesis "(". They reflect light away from the mirrors focal point, which is located on the back side of the mirror.

  • Curved Mirror - Wikipedia

    Curved Mirror - Wikipedia

    2018/11/5 Curved mirror - Wikipedia Curved mirror A curved mirror is a mirror with a curved reflecting surface. The surface may be either convex (bulging outwards) or concave (bulging inwards). Most curved mirrors have surfaces that are shaped like part of a sphere, but other shapes are sometimes used in optical devices. The most common non-spherical type are parabolic reflectors, found in optical devices such as reflecting telescopes that need to image distant objects, since spherical mirror systems, like spherical lenses, suffer from spherical aberration. Distorting mirrors are used for entertainment. They have convex and concave regions that produce deliberately distorted images. Contents Convex mirrors Uses of convex mirror Image Concave mirrors Reflections in a spherical convex Uses mirror. The photographer is seen Image reflected at top right Mirror shape Analysis Mirror equation, magnification, and focal length Ray tracing Ray transfer matrix of spherical mirrors See also References External links Convex mirrors A convex mirror, diverging mirror, or fish eye mirror is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges toward the light source.[1] Convex mirrors reflect light outwards, therefore they are not used to focus light. Such mirrors always form a virtual image, since the focal point (F) and the centre of curvature (2F) are both imaginary points "inside" the mirror, that cannot be reached. As a result, images formed by these mirrors cannot be projected on a screen, since the image is inside the mirror. The image is smaller than the object, but gets larger as the object approaches the mirror. A collimated (parallel) beam of light diverges (spreads out) after reflection from a convex mirror, since the normal to the surface differs with each spot on the mirror.

In paraxial optics, these surfaces are planes, normal to the optical axis. The point where the plane intersects the optical axis is the cardinal point corresponding to that cardinal plane. The six special planes are: First Focal Plane Second Focal Plane First Principle Plane Second Principle Plane First Nodal Plane Second Nodal Plane Once we know the location of these special planes, relative to the physical location of the lenses in the system, we can describe all of the paraxial imaging properties of the system.

    Imaging Notes - March/April 1999 - Picture Perfect Page 1 of 2 Picture Perfect It will be the ultimate Kodak moment when the IKONOS satellite captures its first 1-meter image. By Frans Jurgens, technology writer and consultant, Rochester, N.Y. Imagine a telescope no bigger or heavier than a small desk, yet powerful enough to tell the difference between a car and a truck from 400 miles in space. The challenge of building such a telescope was part of an even larger project facing system designers and engineers at Rochester, N.Y.-based Eastman Kodak Co. (Kodak). Relying on 35 years of remote sensing expertise and in-house resources, Kodak designed and built identical digital camera systems for use aboard IKONOS 1 and IKONOS 2, Thornton, Colo.-based Space Imaging's eagerly awaited 1-meter remote sensing satellites. Each camera system comprises an optical telescope, panchromatic and multispectral imaging sensor arrays, and processing electronics. But the IKONOS cameras are unique in several ways. The near-perfect optical sharpness of their telescopes has never been achieved in any space camera. And, instead of acquiring multispectral imagery in three bands (red, green, blue) across separate photo detectors, each focal plane features four bands (including the near-infrared band) on a single integrated array, a manufacturing coup for the industry. The focal plane unit (above) Optical Perfection containing the digital Kodak engineering teams worked for two years to create a 10-meter focal length telescope for each IKONOS imaging sensors is located camera by perfecting a three-mirror optical form rarely used in visible-light telescopes.

    Exploring Parabolic Mirrors with TI92 Plus/TI89

    Exploring Parabolic Mirrors with TI92 Plus/TI89 Vlajko L. Kocic Department of Mathematics, Xavier University of Louisiana, 1 Drexel Dr., New Orleans, LA 70125, e-mail: [email protected] Reflecting telescope, flashlights, satellite dish antenna, optical illusions like “levitating penny” and “inverted light bulb”… What do they have in common? The answer is in the title of this paper: parabolic mirror. What is a parabolic mirror? It is a mirror whose reflecting surface is in the shape of a paraboloid (surface whose all cross sections are parabolas). Why parabolic mirror? Well, it has a property that the incident rays parallel to the axis of the parabola (for example, those that are coming from distant objects, like planets, stars, galaxies, or electromagnetic signals from satellites) after being reflected from the mirror, pass through the same point – the focus of a parabola. This paper focuses on the reflection from a parabolic mirror and involves activities designed for students enrolled in at least Calculus I. Part III deals with solving differential equations and is suitable for some Calculus II students (where basic differential equations topics are covered) or for students taking Differential Equations course. Part I is suitable as a classroom activity, while part II is more appropriate as a homework assignment or project. Part III might be used as an introduction to Lagrange and Clairaut type differential equations (if they are covered in the course). TI92 Plus scripts for solving Lagrange and Clairaut types of differential equations are given in the Appendix. In this paper we provide the TI92 Plus script for all activities.

  • Optical Telescopes

    Optical Telescopes

    Optical Telescopes Introduction The night sky always attracted people by its charming mystery. Observers had been using naked eyes for their explorations for many centuries. Obviously, they could not achieve a lot due to eyesight limitations. It cannot be estimated, how important the invention of telescopes was for astronomers. It opened an enormous field for visual observations, which had lead to many brilliant discoveries. That happened in 1608, when the German-born Dutch eyeglass maker had guessed to combine several lenses and created the first telescope [PRAS]. This occasion is now almost forgotten, because no inventions were made but a Dutchman. His device was not used for astronomical purposes, and it found its application in military use. The event, which remains in people memories, is the Galilean invention of his first telescope in 1609. The first Galilean optical tube was very simple, it could only magnify objects three times. After several modifications, the scientist achieved higher optical power. This helped him to observe the venusian phases, lunar craters and four jovian satellites. The main tasks of a telescope are the following: • Gathering as much light radiation as possible • Increasing an angular separation between objects • Creating a focused image of an object We have now achieved high technical level, which enables us to create colossal telescopes, reaching distant regions of the Universe and making great discoveries. Telescope components The main parts of which any telescope consists with are the following: • Primary lens (for refracting telescopes), which is the main component of a device. Bigger the lens, more light a telescope can gather and fainter objects can be viewed.

    Y. Sekman, X. Lu, H. Gross Friedrich Schiller University Jena Institute of Applied Physics Albert-Einstein-Str 15 07745 Jena Lens Design I – Seminar 1 Exercise 1-1: Stair-mirror-setup (Homework) Setup a system with a stair mirror pair, which decenters an incoming collimated ray bundle with 10 mm diameter by 40 mm in the -y direction. The wavelength of the beam is = 632.8 nm. After this pair of mirrors, a decentered main objective lens with focal length f = 200 mm made of BK7 is located 25 mm below the optical axis and focusses the beam. a) Setup the system b) Generate layout drawings in 2D and in 3D. c) Calculate the beam cross section on the second mirror, what is the size of the pattern? d) Determine the optimal final sensor plane location. Calculate the spot of the focused beam. Discuss the shape of this pattern. Exercise 1-2: Symmetrical 4f-system Setup a telecentric 4f-imaging system with two identical plano-convex lenses made of BK7 with thickness d = 10 mm and approximate focal lengths f = 100 mm. The wavelength of the system is = 546.07 nm and the numerical aperture in the object space is NA = 0.2. The object has a diameter of 10 mm. a) If the setup is perfectly symmetrical, determine the layout and the spot diagram of the system. b) Optimize the image location. Why is the spot size improved? c) If the starting aperture is decreased, the system becomes more and more close to diffraction limited. What is the value of the NA to get a diffraction limited system on axis? Take in mind here, that a re-focussing might be necessary due to the lowered spherical aberrations, which depends on the aperture.
