Refraction Flashcards
n =
Real depth/apparent depth
Lateral shift =?
t = 1 - 1/n
Relationship between critical angle and n
n = 1/ sin c
Optical path?
Optical path is constant
nt = constant
Where t is the thickness of the medium
For spherical surface refraction formula?
n/v - 1/u = (n-1)/R
(Rarer to denser)
1/v - n/u = (1-n)/R
(Denser to rarer)
Lens formula
1/v - 1/u = 1/f
Lateral magnification
Object perpendicular to principal axis
m = v/u
Axial magnification
Object parallel to principal axis
m = (v/u)^2
Power of lens
P = 1/f
f should be in m
Lens makers formula
1/f = (n-1)(1/R -1/R’)
Combined focal length
1/F = 1/f + 1/f’ +……
Combined power
P = P + P’ +…..
Combined magnification
m = m x m’ x….
Combined focal length of the two lenses are separated by a distance d
1/F = 1/f + 1/f’ - d/ff’
Combined power if the two lens are separated by a distance d
P = P + P’ - PP’d
