Phys 322 Lecture 13 Chapter 5 Geometrical Optics Lenses Principal rays Gaussian lens formula: 1 1 1 so si f F i Optical Image Object axis Fo Principal rays: 1) Rays parallel to principal axis pass through focal point Fi. 2) Rays through center of lens are not refracted. 3) Rays through Fo emerge parallel to principal axis. In this case image is real, inverted and enlarged Assumptions: Since n is function of , in reality each color has different focal point: • monochromatic light chromatic aberration. Contrast to • thin lens. mirrors: angle of incidence/reflection • rays are all “near” the principal axis not a function of (paraxial). Converging lens: examples This could be used in a camera.

Lens 2 creates a real, inverted and reduced image of the image from lens 1. The combination gives a real, upright, enlarged image of the object.

Chief and marginal rays Marginal ray: the ray that comes from point on object and marginally passes the aperture stop Chief ray: any ray from an object point that passes through the middle of the aperture stop It is effectively the central ray of the bundle emerging from a point on an object that can get through the aperture. Importance: aberations in optical systems Vignetting The cone of rays that reaches image plane frome the top of the object is smaller than that from the middle. There will be less light on the periphery of the image - a process called vignetting Example: entrance pupil of the eye can be as big as 8 mm. Telescopes are designed to have exit pupil of 8 mm for maximum brightness of the image Collection Efficiency Which lens collects more light? f = 10 mm f = 10 mm Relative aperture Entrance pupil area determines the amount of light energy that reaches the image plane. Typically pupil is circular: the area varies as square of its diamater D. The image area varies as square of dimensions and is ~f2. Flux density varies as (D/f)2. (D/f) relative apperture f-number Example: f=50 mm, D = 25 mm: f/# = 2 f f /# denoted as f/2 D F-number The F-number, “f / #”, of a lens is the ratio of its focal length and its diameter. f / # = f / d f f d1 f f d2 f / 1 f / 2 The F/# f f /# D •referred to as the “f-number” or speed •Exposure time is proportional to the square of the f-number •measure of the collection efficiency of a system •smaller f/# implies higher collected flux: • f or D decreases the flux area • f or D increases the flux area f-number of a camera lens Change in neighbouring numbers is 2 Intensity is ~1/(f/#)2: changing diafragm from one label to another changes light intensity on film 2 times Numerical Aperture Another measure of a lens size is the numerical aperture. It’s the product of the medium refractive index and the marginal ray angle. NA = n sin() Why this definition? Because the magnification can be shown to f be the ratio of the NA on the two sides of the lens. High-numerical-aperture lenses are bigger. Numerical Aperture NA nsin •describes light gathering capability for: lenses microscope objectives (where n may not be 1) optical fibers … NA photons gathered Depth of Field Only one plane is imaged (i.e., is in focus) at a time. But we’d like objects near this plane to at least be almost in focus. The range of distances in acceptable focus is called the depth of field. It depends on how much of the lens is used, that is, the aperture. Object Out-of-focus Size of blur in plane out-of-focus Image f plane Focal Aperture plane The smaller the aperture, the more the depth of field. Depth of field example A large depth of field isn’t always desirable. f/32 (very small aperture; large depth of field) f/5 (relatively large aperture; small depth of field) A small depth of field is also desirable for portraits. Phys 322 Mirrors Lecture 13 Ancient bronze mirror Liquid mercury mirror Hubble telescope mirror Planar mirror also called plane, or flat mirrors s = -s i r i o Sign convention: s on the object side is positive, and negative on the opposite side Planar mirror For a plane mirror, a point source and its image are at the same distance from the mirror on opposite sides; both lie on the same normal line. Image is virtual, up-right, and life-size (MT = +1) yi si The equation for lens works: MT yo so.
