Optical Systems Flashcards
Has the ability to change the vergence or incident light direction resulting in the formation of an image.
Optical System
Objects that emit light DIVERGENT rays are
always REAL
Optically Real Objects
Emit divergent rays, but not physically available (ex. Hologram)
Real Objects
Emit divergent light and physically present
An object with a diverge incident wavefront is an?
Optically Real Object
An object with a converging incident wavefront is?
An Optically Virtual Object.
Real Images are always
Inverted
Virtual Images are always
Erect
Images are real when formed by
Converging light rays
Real images formed when
light rays converge via convex lens
Virtual images are formed when
light rays diverge from a concave lens
Flat surfaces don’t have a focal power. Not having a focal power =
no change on vergence of light
If the emergent wavefronts are converging the image is?
Optically Real Image
If the emergent wavefronts are diverging the image is?
Optically Virtual Image
