Wavelength
wavelenght of a wave is the distance between two successive peaks of propagation.
One oscillation is
defined as the segment of the wave where it returns to the start, which is also known as one cycle
Amplitude
is a maximum displacement of the wave from its baseline.
Interference
Interference is the phenomenon where two or more waves interact with one another.
Diffraction
Diffraction is described as the apparent bending of a wave around an obstacle.
Airy disc
Diffraction through a circular aperture causes a diffraction pattern where there is a central bright disc
Airy pattern
Airy disc that is surrounded by alternating light and dark rings, together known as the Airy pattern.
How does the size of the aperture affects the size of the Airy disc:
The smaller the aperture the larger the disc. This is because diffraction is most prominent in smaller apertures.
Radiant flux measured in?
(measured in watts) is the radiometric equivalent of luminous flux (measured in lumens)
A luminous flux measured in?
lumen
Luminous flux
Luminous flux is photometric, and quantifies how much light is emitted from a point source.
Radiant intensity
Radiant intensity (the equivalent of luminous intensity) considers the intensity of light in a given solid angle.
Irradiance
Irradiance (the equivalent of illuminance) is the amount of light falling on a given surface area.
Jackson cross cylinder
Sphero-cylindrical lens wherein the
power of the cylinder is twice the power of the sphere and of the
same sign.
Coma
Spherical aberration
Coma results from spherical aberration which causes light rays from a point source (spherical source) to be distributed in the shape of a comet.
