Phys And Optical Characteristics Of Lenses 2 Flashcards
Light incidence on a surface suffers a combination of three fates
Transmission
Absorption
Reflection
Tranmission + absorption + reflection=
100%
When a light passes through a lanes, it is _____ on both lens surfaces and _____ by the lens material
Reflected
Absorbed
The anoint of light energy that gets through an optical system
Transmittance (T)
When light falls upon a lens, it is lost in two ways
Reflected
Absorbed
Specifies the amount of light reflected from a surface
Fresnel law
Spectacle lens in air fresnels law
R= (n2-1/N2-1)^2
Converting transmittance
Ts-1-R
To find transmittance (not absorbed)
T=TsTsTm
Ts is transmittance at each surface
TM amount transmitted, not absorbed by the medium
How the amount of light transmitted changes based on a change of thickness of the absorbing material
Beer-lambert law
The fraction of light transmitted per unit lenejgth of solid tinted material
Transmittance factor (q)
If given:
Q=0.8/mm
Material thickness=4mm
How much light is transmitted
(0.8)^4=0.41=41%
The ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance
Specific gravity
Higher the specific gravity of a material,
The more material is packed into a smaller area
Substances with specific gravity >1
More dense than water (will sink)
Substances with specific gravity <1
Less dense than water (will float)
A diopter equals
D=1/f
Light passing through a plus lens
Converges
Light passing through a minus lens
Diverges
Rays of light entering a prism always do what at base of prism
Bends towards
The image through a prism
Shifted towards apex
A curved interface between two media
Single spherical refracting inferfaces
An optical system with two spherical refracting interfaces- the front and back surfaces
A spherical lens
Total lens power =
Front lens surface + back lens surface
Interface wraps around the lower n medium
Concave
Interface wraps around the higher n medium
Convex
Concave interface is always
Diverging
Convey interface is always
Converging
Power of SSRI
F=(n2-n1)/r
n2=RI of final media
N1=RI of original media
R=radius of curvature of SSRI
F=power of the ssri
Total lens power
F=F1+F2
Refractive power of a surface
P=(N2-n1)/r
N1=refractive index of medium
N2=refractive index of emerging rays
R= distance (m)
Simplified to F= (n-1)/r
Total power of the lens ignores what
Thickness
This is approximate power
Front surface power is
+
Back surface power is
-
Back vertex power
Fv= P1/(1-d/n*P1)+P2
